International IP protection, routed to the right local expert
IPEnvoy helps businesses protect and enforce intellectual property across more than twenty jurisdictions. We assess your position under local law, then connect you with a vetted IP firm in the market that matters to you.
Protecting IP across borders is mostly a routing problem
Most businesses know roughly what they need: a trade mark filed in a new market, a patent taken international, a copyright dispute handled where the infringement is happening. The hard part is knowing which route applies, under which local rules, and which firm to trust once you get there. IPEnvoy does that assessment, then hands the qualified work to a partner firm on the ground.
The main international routes
Trade marks
Register and enforce trade marks through the Madrid Protocol or directly with a national office, calibrated to where you actually trade.
Patents
Take an invention international through the PCT, then into national phase in the jurisdictions that count for your business.
Designs
Protect the look of a product through the Hague System or local registered design rights, with the disclosure timing that protects you.
