For other services the prize is based on a cost estimate we prepare for the customer for the customers consideration. For patents the cost is based on a rate of 1700 SEK/hour.

What technical areas do you have expertise in?

We have trademark and design experts but also statistic expertise so that we can provide services in all areas of intellectual property.
What should my basis for Novelty search look like?
The more detailed your description of your idea, the better the patent engineer can perform the searches. If there are drawings and figures, you can also send them to clarify the text. You can also request to get in touch with the patent engineer who will do your search. In that contact, it is good to check that the engineer has understood your assignment correctly.

Toothbrush with toothpaste container
Abstract
A toothbrush with integrated container for toothpaste. The container is arranged in the shaft. The toothpaste can be pumped to the brush head by means of a pump which is arranged in the toothbrush shaft.
