Our team consists of professionals with both engineering and extensive patent experience. This industry knowledge is combined with extensive research and validation methods to allow us to report accurate and extensive patent information at a lower cost to our clients.

2) Will the time difference affect communication with GreyB?

The time difference between our location in India and our clients’ bases of operations is an advantage. We are working while our clients may be away from the office, which creates an around-the-clock work cycle. We are able to contact our clients around the world at the times that are most convenient for them. Communications can include secure emails, video conferencing and other methods as clients require.

3) Is client privacy ensured?

All data transfers from external sites to GreyB’s internal network are completely secure. Information entrusted to us remains under the eyes of our project teams. We understand and respect the need for confidentiality when working with sensitive information and take full responsibility to protect client data.

4) What does GreyB mean by its “outsourcing” model?

The advantage of wage and currency differences in India creates financial benefits for our clients. Our extensive patent and technology experience means that we deliver a final product that is on par or of higher quality than the work of more expensive patent support groups.

5) How much does it cost to engage GreyB’s services?

The budget for each project is discussed individually after our senior research team reviews it. Some of our services, such as intellectual property plans, are available as free consulting to Start up businesses.

We offer a wide range of payment methods and handle each situation as a client requires. The majority of our payments are by wire transfer.

7) My project needs are not discussed on your website, do you work in other areas?

Yes, GreyB can arrange for a project team to conduct work around the world as required.

9) How can I get a price quote for my project?

Once you contact GreyB, we will supply you with a questionnaire about your patent search and research needs. Please be as specific as you can in your answers because it allows us to give an accurate quote. The GreyB team will review your questionnaire and then hold a joint meeting with a representative from your company and our management and project leaders. In this meeting, we will clarify any issues and be sure that all parties understand your needs and expectations. GreyB will then give you an exact quote for the services to be rendered and a project timeline. To begin this process, please fill out the form on our Contact Us page.

11) Why should our company use GreyB from patent prosecution services instead of a general purpose firm?

The quick answer is that we bring high quality professional work and focus in a cost-effective package.

Some general practice firms claim they have an advantage in patent prosecution because their researchers understand issues that come up during litigation proceedings. There may be some special cases where this is true, but the fields of patent prosecution and litigation are so different that must be worked on by specialists. As such, these general purpose firms offer few benefits to clients that require the highest quality of US patent prosecution work.

GreyB has separate groups for dealing with patent prosecution in patent litigation. Our team regularly reviews new legal theories and ideas and incorporates them into our research and business model. We stay on top of developments by the most highly recognized international patent litigators, academics, licensing professionals and firms. Some of our researchers have given professional seminars and talks about legal theories and the importance of intellectual property protection.

12) How do Indian companies and the R&D departments of multinational corporations benefit from our offshore location?

For a variety of reasons, many multinational companies have chosen India for the center of their research and development operations. Our proximity to many of these  R&D facilities means that our clients benefit from having our US legal and patents expertise as a neighbor. We have the world-class research and patent work experience of our US competition, but not their expensive prices.

Our location also means that we can help clients in the United States and Europe who are interested in setting up their IP services abroad. This approach can be ideal for startup companies who need intellectual property management services, but cannot afford their local prices. We can also work with larger multinational corporations who require large volumes of IP work and who would benefit financially from outsourcing the work to an India location.
