If you or your company invents something, then you want to benefit from that creativity. A patent gives you the right to prevent others from copying your invention for 20 years. If anybody infringes your patent you may take legal action and seek damages.

Prentice & Matthews have over 40 years experience, particularly in the fields of transport (automotive, aeronautical and marine) and engineering. We do not offer advice over the Internet because keeping your invention confidential is vital until appropriate protection is in place. Therefore please contact us for further advice.

Warning: Do not disclose your idea to anyone until you have been advised by a suitably qualified Patent Attorney. Premature disclosure may prejudice your right to a valid patent.
