The scope of the patent, its effectiveness and its validity depend in large part on the manner in which the patent text is drafted. A patent text drafted by a qualified, expert professional protects the invention in a way that is considerably more effective than a text written by a layman. For this reason, within its organization, GIAMBROCONO & C. S.p.A. includes the best Industrial Property Consultants registered with the Ordine dei Consulenti in Brevetti (Order of Patent Consultants). Professional representatives before the European Patent Office.

Through the filing of a patent, the research and know-how are solidified within an intangible asset (the patent itself) which is provided with an autonomous financial value, which can be listed in the Balance Sheet and increases the financial value of the company. The patent may be transferred thereby monetizing its value, it may be offered in license thereby generating income and allowing one to work in far-away Countries without on-site structures. Recently, patents have been accepted as collateral against bank loans.

GIAMBROCONO & C. S.p.A., operating on a worldwide scale, can ensure experience and professionalism in the generation of families of patents which are harmonious and uniform and which can cover both the principal Countries as well as the secondary ones, being also able to cover those that are so marginal that they are generally not even taken into consideration in patent coverage strategies.

A patent portfolio which grows over time ensures barriers against competition, such that they are required to develop machinery and systems in order to navigate the multitude of restrictions and obstacles imposed by the existence of prior patents. A competitive advantage which has often generated absolutely unassailable market niches.

GIAMBROCONO & C. S.p.A. provides its utmost assistance in disputes regarding patents and models, in the cases of financial assessment of patents and models, and in the determination of just and fair rewards for the inventions of employees.
