How a programme actually runs
We start with what you sell, what you will sell in three years, and who is already on the register. From there we recommend UK first-filing, a PCT, a European application, or a deliberate decision not to file — including where software and business methods collide with the excluded-subject-matter rules in section 1(2).
Prosecution is coordinated with registered patent attorneys for reserved activities. Curiterealm owns the calendar, the inventor interviews, the prior-art watch, the cost forecast, and the conversation with the board when a claim set should be narrowed rather than fought.
From 1 April 2026, UKIPO patent official fees rose by around a quarter (search, for example, moving from £150 to £200). We re-forecast every live family against the new table so renewal conversations use this year's numbers.
