Intellectual Property Law in Ranong — About us

Ranong is a maritime crossing to Kawthaung in Myanmar and a fishing and cold-storage base with one of the country's highest reliance on migrant labour. The cases that arise are migrant labour and work permits, fisheries and vessel licensing, customs procedure and seized goods, seafood supply contracts, and debt recovery between operators on both sides.

Fishing and cold-storage operations can be inspected on labour, licensing, and customs at the same time, and answering one front at a time without the whole picture tends to produce statements that contradict each other. We align the entire response, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Ranong 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.
