1. Your use of this website constitutes your acknowledgement that you understand and agree to all of the terms set forth herein

2. In all terms below, "the firm" refers to patent attorney Mark Zota, his firm's employees, and anyone associated with them

3. The website includes general information and background material for a meeting with a patent attorney. All material is presented "as is" without any claim of suitability for any purpose. Each case requires appropriate treatment, as determined by the patent attorney

4. You may not use the material on the website for any purpose, and if you do, it is at your own risk. The firm is not responsible for any damage that may occur to you and/or a third party due to the use of the material on the website

5. After reading the website, your meeting with the patent attorney may be more effective and productive

6. It is impossible to include all relevant topics, and perhaps what you need is not included. Patent laws are different in each country. The laws also change, and new court rulings have an impact as well, as do regulations, decisions of the Registrar of Patents, prices, and more. There is no guarantee that the information on the site is up-to-date with the latest changes in law or case law, or that all the material required for a particular purpose is included. There may be errors, typographical errors, etc.

7. Even if a particular principle is presented on the site, there may be exceptions, and it is impossible to know what is right for you before studying your specific situation . A patent attorney can explain to you what topics are appropriate for your specific case

8. Patent search: It is important to know that a search can never provide everything that exists, there is no certainty, and a search cannot predict whether or not you will receive a registered patent

9. There is no certainty in patent searches, patentability research, or freedom to act research. There are different levels of in-depth testing and searching; the cost is accordingly; it is worth investing in testing according to the importance of the result to you.
You can search for yourself in free databases on the Internet, but an unprofessional search may lead to incorrect conclusions and this may cost you dearly

10. The patent attorney can advise you on the search and help you reach useful conclusions, all for a fee

11. Only a written agreement between us will be binding .
There are no oral agreements or promises

12. It is impossible to guarantee that you will ultimately receive a registered patent. This is a legal process, a decision by the authorized government body

13. Payment is a condition for performing work. Failure to pay in full will result in the cancellation of any agreement and termination of work and also termination of representation

. If you request that our office represent you, you must disclose to Mark all background and activity to date on the subject, details of all partners and stakeholders on the subject . Failure to fully disclose the above constitutes grounds for the termination by agreement of any work and representation.

14. The Information on this site does not constitute advice and does not create a patent attorney-client relationship. Browsing the site does not create a client-service provider relationship with the office

15. If you would like advice, you are welcome to call, meet and promote your issue. All advice from the office is provided solely in writing and for a fee. E-mail should not be considered advice or a commitment

16. The description of the firm's services does not constitute an offer. The firm reserves the right to accept a new client or not, without the need for justification

17. Any contact with the firm and any commitment by the firm will be made exclusively in writing and signed by both parties. There are no oral agreements

18. We have no control over material published on other sites. The firm is not responsible for these sites. The presentation of these sites does not constitute an endorsement by the firm.

19. It is impossible to guarantee or commit in advance that a registered patent will be granted for a particular invention. It is possible that the application will be rejected and not approved for a patent. In every action there is a risk of loss (here the cost of filing the application and processing) but even in inaction there is a risk - loss of a large opportunity, perhaps.

20. The description of the firm's services does not constitute an offer or professional advice or other advice; browsing the website does not create a client-service provider relationship with our firm. The firm reserves the right to accept a new client or not, without the need for justification

21. Please do not send us your confidential or secret material, except as part of a written and signed agreement between you and the firm and with the firm's prior approval. Sending by email may be disclosed . We recommend sending material by registered mail or bringing it in person

22. Registering a patent or other intellectual property does not end with the submission of the application, but is a process that continues over time and includes examination, renewals, compliance with formal and essential requirements throughout the life of the intellectual property, and more. The deadlines set by law must be met to avoid additional expenses and/or loss of rights.
You must assign the handling of all of these to a patent attorney. Handling by a patent attorney involves a fee. Otherwise, you are responsible for handling all of these issues and any other which may arise.

23. Submitting a form on the website: We undertake not to transfer your details to any party outside the office, unless there is a legal requirement to do so. Contacting us is free of charge and without obligation. We do not undertake to respond to every request

24. Even though content on the website may be in the masculine or feminine form, we always refer to both genders equally.

Good Luck to You !

Eng. Marc Zuta
Patent Attorney.
