Business updates

With a view to enhancing services provided by the Mauritius Research and Innovation Council (MRIC) - Technology Transfer Office (MRIC-TTO), the Council has now set up a collaboration with SKS Law Associates to enable patent-related support to Mauritian inventors.

The following assessments can be carried out by this new division:

• examining characteristics of the inventions to identify novelty, inventive step, and industrial application;
• conducting a customised pre-filing patent search (including novelty search) to identify prior art;
• providing a Novelty Search Report;
• providing a professional/legal opinion on the patentability of inventions; and
• the preparation and drafting of patent applications.
