Legal and Technical Patent Expertise
Our patent practice combines Israeli patent-law expertise with technical knowledge.
For patent matters, we work through teams that combine lawyers experienced in Israeli patent law with patent attorneys familiar with the relevant technological field. Our experience includes computer science and software, electronics, telecommunications, mechanics and mechanical engineering, physics, consumer products and medical devices.
The firm and its lawyers have authored leading books on Israeli intellectual property law, including Patent Law, Intellectual Property Law in Israel and Monetary Remedies in Intellectual Property Procedures. The firm’s professional publications have been cited in numerous decisions of the Israeli Supreme Court and District Courts.
This combination of legal scholarship, practical patent prosecution experience and technical understanding enables us to address both the technological substance of an invention and the legal implications of claim amendments, examiner objections and prosecution strategy.
Working with Foreign Patent Attorneys and IP Law Firms
When acting as Israeli patent counsel, our objective is to make the Israeli part of an international patent portfolio straightforward for the instructing foreign firm.
Foreign counsel can send us the relevant PCT or patent application number, Israeli deadline and filing or prosecution instructions. We review the matter, identify the applicable Israel Patent Office requirements and confirm the information and documents required to proceed.
For ongoing prosecution, foreign counsel may also provide relevant Office Actions, search reports, allowed claims, amendments and prosecution materials from corresponding foreign applications. We consider these materials when advising on the Israeli application and coordinating the local prosecution strategy.
Our Israeli patent team handles the proceedings before the Israel Patent Office, coordinates with the broader international prosecution strategy and reports directly to instructing foreign counsel.
