Abel + Imray's web portal allows you to instruct us to file a European regional phase entry in a simple, accurate and cost-effective manner. The web portal cuts out unnecessary manual administration and the associated costs so that our service can focus on the value added by our attorneys - leaving you to enjoy the high quality, professional standards of Abel + Imray without having to pay a premium at the outset. Over recent years, we have invested in the web portal so that it now provides the following:
| Fast | |
| Once you become familiar with the web portal it will take you less time to complete the web-forms than it will to read this guide, averaging five minutes for straightforward cases. Much of the data can be downloaded directly from the EPO online patent register using just the EP or PCT number of the case. | |
| Instant and accurate quote | |
| The website will automatically generate a detailed and instant quote taking into account things like the identity of the International searching Authority, whether or not a Demand for International Examination was filed during the international phase, the number of claims and the number of pages in the application - all of which affect the official fees payable. | |
| Efficient | |
| The web portal obtains, in a single interaction with you, all information necessary for Abel + Imray to proceed with the European regional phase filing. | |
| High -Quality | |
| Despite the automation and efficiencies mentioned above, one of our attorneys will acknowledge safe receipt of your instruction and check carefully the submission before electronic filing of the EPO. | |
| Cost-effective | |
| By using our web portal you save us enough time that we can significantly reduce our service charge - by more than 50% in many cases. At the time of writing, it is possible for us to file the EP regional phase application via the web portal for as little as £790.00. |
