Our experience and in-depth expertise enables us to avoid the pitfalls of patent applications that are oftentimes drafted too narrowly, provide limited flexibility, or make enforcement litigation unnecessarily complicated or expensive. Nowadays, more than ever before, patents must be prepared while maintaining a clear view of potential litigation, along with a keen understanding of the legal principles governing the interpretation and enforcement of patents.

Seligsohn Gabrieli Benshafrut files patent applications in Israel on behalf of local inventors, as well as for local and overseas corporations and other persons, prosecuting such applications until patents are granted.

We also act on behalf of local inventors and technology based corporations, assisting them in securing their rights in foreign countries by filing international applications under the PCT. Our clients also benefit from the added value of legal services provided by our group’s IP law firm, Seligsohn Gabrieli & Co, in drafting the application and during the prosecution process, opposition proceedings and infringement proceedings, enabling us to optimally address complex and challenging patent matters which involve both technological and legal issues. We represent both patent holders and alleged infringers in patent infringement actions tried before the District Courts. We also represent clients in appeals on District Court judgments in infringement cases. Such appeals are heard and decided by the Supreme Court of Israel. Litigation services also comprise various proceedings before the Registrar of Patents. These include, but are not limited to, oppositions, applications for revocation of patents, and compulsory license proceedings.

Our ability to provide extensive patent services which are supported – and propelled – by a profound understanding of diverse and cutting-edge technologies is a truly remarkable asset that we are proud of, and are honored to share with our clients. Our collaboration with Seligsohn Gabrieli and Co. is built-in and synergistic, and positions us as an unparalleled patents practice that has a solid stronghold within the innovative Israeli technology sector, backed by a leading IP services firm. We recognize the value we bring to our clients through our knowledge, experience and insights, as well as combined competencies – which can mean the difference between success and failure, surviving or thriving.
