IP Renewals in Ireland and the United Kingdom
Keep Your Patents, Trade Marks and Designs Protected
Registered intellectual property rights can be valuable business assets, but they need to be properly monitored, maintained and renewed. Missed deadlines, inaccurate records or gaps in protection can put important rights at risk.
MacLachlan IP helps clients manage patent, trade mark and design renewals, as well as broader IP portfolios across Ireland, the UK, Europe and internationally.
Our attorneys and renewals team provide organised, commercially focused support to help ensure your rights remain protected and your portfolio stays aligned with your business.
Why Renewal Deadline Monitoring Matters
Registered IP rights can lapse if renewal deadlines are missed. Once a right is lost, restoring it may be difficult, expensive or just not possible.
A reliable renewals system helps reduce that risk. It also gives businesses a clearer view of which rights should be maintained, reviewed or allowed to lapse as part of a wider IP strategy.
Our team supports clients with patent renewals, trade mark renewals, design renewals, deadline monitoring, due diligence and cross-border portfolio management .
Portfolio Management Services
Managing an IP portfolio is about more than paying renewal fees on time. It also means making sure your rights are still relevant, correctly recorded and supporting your commercial and marketing goals.
A well-managed IP portfolio should reflect your current products, brands, technologies and commercial priorities.
We can review your portfolio to help identify:
- upcoming deadlines
- gaps in territorial coverage
- ownership issues
- unused or low-value rights
- opportunities to strengthen protection
This can be particularly useful before investment, licensing, acquisition, merger, restructuring or international expansion.
Whether you have a small number of registrations or a large international portfolio, we can help you manage it efficiently.
How to Manage an IP Portfolio
To manage an IP portfolio effectively:
- Keep accurate records of all intellectual property, including patents, registered trade marks and registered designs
- Monitor renewal deadlines carefully
- Review whether each right still supports your business
- Check ownership details and recorded changes
- Identify gaps in protection across products, brands and markets
- Review renewal costs against commercial value
- Carry out portfolio reviews and due diligence regularly
