Intellectual Property Law in Phayao — About us

Phayao is an agricultural province with the Ban Huak crossing into Laos and, in the University of Phayao, a concentration of working-age residents and rental tenants. The legal work mixes accordingly: farm-household land and inheritance, agricultural debt and enforcement, lease and property matters around the town, and general criminal defence.

Farm-household land and inheritance disputes are usually entangled with family relationships; rushing to file without sequencing the steps tends to cost both the case and the relationship. We set the approach — negotiate or litigate — at the outset, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Phayao Provincial Court.

Patent, Petty Patent, or Trade Secret — Which Should You Choose?

Before asking how to file a patent, you must first answer whether you should file at all — the differences between patents, petty patents, and trade secrets, the trap of disclosure before filing, who owns an employee's invention, and what to do when you are copied.
