What a Carefully Run
Patent Practice Delivers
The value of patent counsel is not just in filing documents — it is in producing specifications that hold up under examination, managing deadlines without error, and keeping clients informed at every stage.

In Depth
Professional Expertise in Thai Patent Law
The practice is staffed by attorneys registered with Thailand's Department of Intellectual Property. This registration is a statutory requirement for representing patent applicants before the DIP — it is not a marketing distinction. The work covers the full examination cycle under the Thai Patent Act, including novelty objections, prior art citations, and claim amendments during substantive examination.
- DIP-registered patent attorneys on all engagements
- Knowledge of current DIP examination practice and standards
- Experience across mechanical, chemical, and electronic subject matter
A Drafting Process Built Around Disclosure
Rather than beginning with an open-ended briefing call, Anantara Counsel provides a structured invention disclosure form at the outset of every filing engagement. This prompts inventors to describe their work in the terms that matter for patent drafting — the technical problem addressed, the novel feature, the variations considered, and the commercial application. Well-organised input leads to better first drafts and fewer revision rounds.
- Structured disclosure form provided before drafting begins
- Prior art search completed before any claims are drafted
- Drafts reviewed by principal attorney before client delivery
Clear Communication at Every Stage
Patent prosecution is a slow-moving process. Clients should not be left wondering whether anything is happening. Anantara Counsel provides written confirmation when each procedural step is completed — filing receipts, publication notices, examination request confirmations, and examiner reports — and explains what each document means in plain terms before asking for instructions.
- Written confirmation at each procedural milestone
- Examiner reports explained in plain terms before response
- Quarterly written updates for international programmes
Transparent, Fixed Professional Fees
Each service is priced at a fixed professional fee covering the scope described. Clients receive a written fee summary at engagement commencement, listing the professional fee, the expected official disbursements (DIP filing fees, examination request fees, PCT fees), and the payment schedule. There are no variable hourly rates for the services listed — time beyond normal scope is agreed in writing before any additional charge applies.
- Fixed professional fees stated upfront per service
- Official disbursements listed separately at actual cost
- No undisclosed billing increments
Specifications Drafted for Examination, Not Just Filing
Filing a patent application is straightforward; obtaining a patent with a useful claim scope is the harder task. Anantara Counsel drafts specifications with the examination process in mind — claims positioned to survive novelty and inventive step objections, descriptions with sufficient technical detail to support the claims, and fallback claim structures that give room to manoeuvre during examination without abandoning commercial value.
- Claim sets structured for examination resilience
- Independent and dependent claims planned as a coherent set
- Descriptions drafted to support broad and narrow claim readings

What Sets This Practice Apart
Assessment Before Application
Most patent offices do not tell applicants in advance whether their invention is novel. Anantara Counsel offers a standalone patentability assessment (฿4,800) that gives inventors a written opinion on their position before committing to a full filing. This step is particularly valuable for university spin-outs and early-stage companies with limited IP budgets.
Coordinated International Filing
For clients needing protection in multiple markets, Anantara Counsel manages the PCT programme and national phase entries as a coordinated project. Rather than managing separate counsel relationships in each jurisdiction, the client receives consolidated reporting and a single fee plan covering the full programme lifecycle.
No Hidden Disbursements
Official fees — DIP filing fees, examination request fees, PCT international fees — are charged at actual cost with documentation. A forward-looking disbursement schedule is provided at the start of each engagement so that clients can plan the total cost over the life of the application before any fee falls due.
Scale Appropriate to the Client
The service structure and pricing is calibrated for individual inventors, research institutions, and small firms rather than large multinational portfolios. The practice does not apply corporate-scale billing structures to work that does not warrant them.
