ecto IP specialises in intellectual property services, particularly patents, designs and trademarks and operates mainly in Hong Kong and other regions of South East Asia.
Generally, Hong Kong has few professionals, i.e. patent attorneys, who are qualified by examination to advise on patent drafting and application. This is because Hong Kong does not have any government-appointed body of intellectual property professionals. However, there is a growing demand for such professionals as there are local inventors in need of their service, and as Hong Kong is an international trading port which hosts many international trade shows every year.
Lecto IP meets this demand with notable experience in filing and prosecuting patent applications in Hong Kong, Singapore, PCT, USA, the PRC and many other less common countries, such as the Middle Eastern countries (GCC), South American such as Chile, Indochinese countries such as Laos.
More specifically, Lecto IP specialises in drafting patent specifications to meet EP, UK (and Hong Kong), USA and PRC requirements.
Other than patent application prosecution, Lecto IP is also capable of supporting patent litigation. Also, Lecto IP provides advice on legal issues relating to patents, such as inventorship, ownership and licensing rights etc, in Singapore, Hong Kong and other jurisdictions.
