The patent practice of the Law Firm of E.B. Astudillo & Associates is probably the largest of its kind in the Philippines. The Firm represents and prosecutes patent cases in the Philippines for a host of major multinational companies. The Firm has consistently ranked first in the number of patent cases filed and granted every year. The Firm conducts searches and renders expert opinion on patentability, patent availability, patent validity and enforceability and infringement issues. We draft, prepare, and prosecute patent applications and obtain annually hundreds of quality patents for our clients. We assist our clients in the entire process of patent prosecution efficiently and economically. Through the Firm's extensive annuity services, we maintain patent and industrial designs for literally thousands of patent holders every year. With the extensive substantive examining experience of our patent experts and familiarity with the rules, regulations, and policies of the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines, we are arguably the top patent law firm in the Philippines. The venerable international clientele that today entrust us with their portfolio attests to the quality of our patent work and efficiency of our Firm in this field.

The Firm also aggressively assists clients in protecting their intellectual property rights from patent infringement. We prosecute civil and criminal actions for infringement before the regular courts to recover damages in cases of violation of exclusive rights granted to a patent owner. We handle cancellation proceedings involving patents, industrial designs, and utility models administratively before the Intellectual Property Office as well as in regular court proceedings. The Firm's patent litigation capability complements and backstops the vast patent portfolio that it handles for its clients. We are forever mindful of our twin role of successfully obtaining patents for our clients and protecting them from infringement.
