Chang Tsi & Partners does, through its Global Renewal and Annuity Service.
Annuity and renewal deadlines are one of the most common source of avoidable right loss in a multi-jurisdiction portfolio, because the intervals, grace periods, and requirements for the fee-paying entity differ in every jurisdiction and few of them issue reliable reminders . Even a modest portfolio spread across ten Asian jurisdictions can carry several hundred dated obligations a year.
The service covers docketing, advance notification, payment in local currency, proof of payment, and recordal of the resulting status change, for patents, utility models, designs, and trademarks across the jurisdictions listed above. Portfolios can be taken over mid-stream from a previous agent, including reconstruction of the docket where records are incomplete.
Where a deadline has already been missed, restoration or reinstatement is available in some Asian jurisdictions and not in others, and the window is usually short — it is worth raising immediately rather than at the next review.
