PATENTSERVIS

What PATENTSERVIS does

PATENTSERVIS is a privately held Czech joint-stock company (akciová společnost) operating as a full-service intellectual property law firm. Founded in 1990 through the privatization of the original sole patent and trademark agency of former Czechoslovakia, it is the oldest patent office in the Czech Republic and serves businesses and entrepreneurs seeking protection for inventions, brands, and industrial designs across the Czech Republic, Slovakia, the European Union, and internationally.

The firm's core services are organized into four pillars — trademarks (national, EU EUTM via EUIPO, and international via WIPO Madrid System), patents and utility models (national, European via EPO, unitary patents, and PCT international), industrial designs (national, EU RCD, and Hague System), and legal services (IP enforcement, oppositions, licensing, unfair competition, domain disputes, and due diligence) — supplemented by searches, novelty assessments, ongoing monitoring, and deadline/annuity management. The underlying 'technology' is professional expertise rather than a software platform: the firm delivers value through human attorneys registered with chambers in Czech Republic and Slovakia, with direct representation rights before ÚPV, EUIPO, EPO, and WIPO.

PATENTSERVIS operates through three wholly-owned legal entities — PATENTSERVIS Praha a.s. (headquarters, since 1990), PATENTSERVIS Bratislava a.s. (since 1993, to maintain Slovak coverage post-Czechoslovakia split), and PATENTSERVIS Alicante S.A. (since 1997, on-site at EUIPO headquarters). GTM is sales-led via direct email and phone contact, with a quoted 1-business-day response commitment. Revenue is generated through professional service fees on a quote-based model with no public pricing, no disclosed revenue, no external investors, and no funding rounds. Customer segments are described as horizontal — businesses and entrepreneurs across multiple sizes — with no enterprise/SMB breakdown disclosed. The firm has been repeatedly recognized by Managing Intellectual Property magazine based on global expert recommendations.

Core offering

PATENTSERVIS is a full-service intellectual property law firm providing patent filing and prosecution, trademark registration, industrial design protection, and IP legal services. The firm handles national filings in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, European patents via EPO, EU trademarks and designs via EUIPO, and international registrations via WIPO (Madrid and Hague systems). It also offers searches, monitoring, deadline management, representation before IP offices and courts, and enforcement of IP rights.

Product overview

PATENTSERVIS is a full-service intellectual property law firm offering a unified portfolio of core services rather than a modular software platform. The company provides comprehensive IP protection and management through four main service lines: trademarks (Ochranné známky), patents and utility models (Patenty a užitné vzory), industrial designs (Průmyslové vzory), and legal services (Právní servis). Supporting these are searches and monitoring, deadline tracking for renewals and annuities, and direct representation before IP offices and courts across the Czech Republic, Slovakia, the European Union, and internationally via WIPO systems. The company operates from three EU branches in Prague, Bratislava, and Alicante.
