International patent application for mining equipment. Our firm is assisting Tumi Contratistas Mineros with the patent application for the international patent Autonomous Drilling Machine for the Construction of Service Shafts and Open Shafts. We are responsible for entering the patent into the national phase in Chile, Mexico, Australia, and Canada.
Coordinated work with counsels in other jurisdictions: After obtaining the patent in Peru, we sought that it be granted through the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) in the aforementioned jurisdictions. This involved detailed work with the correspondents in these countries since the claims had to comply with the legislation in each country. Thus, we managed to have the patents granted in Chile, Australia, and Canada.
Patent application pending only in Mexico: In Mexico, we are still waiting for the authority to resolve the examiner’s third observation so that the patent application can be granted.
Key player in mining equipment manufacturing industry: Tumi Contratistas Mineros is a Peruvian company that benefits from U.S. capital investment. Its core focus revolves around the manufacturing of mining equipment. The company has undertaken the process of securing international patent protection, a pursuit that we have successfully extended to jurisdictions such as Chile, Canada, Australia, and Mexico.
Challenging case involving Patent Prosecution Highway mechanism: The main challenge concerning this case is to obtain the patent through the PPH process, which is a set of initiatives intended to speed up the process of obtaining patents by exchanging data throughout certain patent offices.
Latest development: We continue assisting the client with this matter.
