Foreign (International) Patent Attorneys in Oklahoma

Intellectual property often extends beyond the boundaries of the United States. However, inventors face the risk of losing foreign patent rights if they do not understand how certain actions can impact their success in protecting their intellectual property from infringement. For example, if you publicly disclose your invention before filing for a patent in the United States, you can immediately lose your rights to obtain foreign patent protection.

Tomlinson, Rust, McKinstry & Grable has a network of international patent lawyers who help our clients acquire patents in just about any country worldwide. We will help you determine the existence of conflicting patents outside the United States, file your patent directly in the country in which you wish to secure protection, and monitor the status of your intellectual property in the U.S. and abroad. In addition, we can advise you whether a patented invention must be manufactured in the foreign country for which you desire a patent (the so-called “working requirement”), as well as whether maintenance fees are mandated.
