National Patents
DTS offers via an international network of foreign associates the protection by patents in any country. DTS especially prosecutes patents in the USA, Japan and Switzerland:
The US-Patent
Once granted, no other patent is so difficult to challenge as the US patent. In order to achieve the cancellation of a US patent one has to invest more than accepting a royalty for the next five years. Thus, the US patent is a favourable IP-right with the help of which a considerable blocking effect can be achieved with little money - at least for the territory of the USA.
The US patent ist the IP-right most frequently asked for at DTS. The attorneys at DTS know the US patent system quite well not least because of the experience gained when working in the US for US IP-law firms.
