S&Z remains top filer of SA patents for Chinese applicants

S&Z is the top filer of South African patents for Chinese patent applicants. With exclusive use of the GlobalIPCo patent management system, S&Z has reduced the time from filing a South African patent to couriering the patent registration certificate to under 3 months. This commitment continued to be met despite the third COVID wave and South African riots.

During July, August and September 2021, S&Z filed more South African patents for Chinese applicants than all the other 25 firms combined. And, in September 2021, S&Z became the #1 filer of South African patents.

By automating filing, acceptance, publication, registration and courier of South African patents, the GlobalIPCo system enables S&Z to offer South African patents to Chinese Universities and companies at very affordable pricing – a fixed price that includes filing, official fees, acceptance, publication, issuance of the registration certificate and courier.
