This database lists patent agents, internationally but mainly in the UK. The results are ranked according
to the extent to which their interests are aligned with yours in terms of the size of client they like to deal
with and technology area.
Many larger patent agencies have no technology preferences, but almost all will have preferred types of
client, and by working with a well-matched agency you will be more likely to meet each other's
expectations in fees, methods of invoicing, value added and respective levels of competence.
The distance from your postcode does not affect the ranking, but does reflect the distance to their
nearest branch rather than their main branch.
Selecting multiple competences may help narrow down your search but don't add requirements
needlessly, as agencies who offer more services are likely to be more corporate oriented and may
charge more.
Selecting multiple countries is unlikely to find many agencies - the only common combination is the UK
and Germany.
The data on the interests of the listed patent agencies is either based on our perceptions of them at
patentlyprotected.com, or because they have notified us of their interests. Each agent gets a ranking for
each category, and these are "normalised" in that agencies have the same ranking on average.
If you think your agency is inaccurately reflected, or want to notify us of changed priorities, please
contact us and tell us so.
