Chinese Patent Attorney for South Africa
About S&Z
S&Z files more South African patents for Chinese applicants than any other South African patent law firm.
By using the GlobalIPCo patent filing and management system, we are able to:
- offer the lowest patent filing fee (inclusive of acceptance, grant and courier);
- file South African patents within minutes of instruction;
- late-lodge documents without additional charge; and
- courier the granted South African patent within 4 months of filing (recently made available).
Our primary focus is to send low-cost South African patents quickly to Chinese applicants.
Position available
We have a position available for a person who can speak Mandarin fluently and read/write simplified Chinese. Although, the activities revolve around filing patents, no law or patent qualification is required.
Our operations are not centralised:
- engagement with the South African patent office is conducted from our Johannesburg office;
- since all patent applications are processed through the GlobalIPCo online system, filing of patent applications is not limited to our Johannesburg office – they can be performed from anywhere, including China; and
- all software development and integration with the South African patent office’s system is conducted in Dubai.
Why S&Z?
Only South Africa can offer a granted patent at a fixed, low cost within a few months of filing, and over the past 5 years S&Z and GlobalIPCo have invested nearly US$1m in developing the most efficient online system tailored for Chinese applicants.
