- You find that clarification of information is necessary in order for you to answer a related enquiry correctly
- A question is too specific or specialised that you can’t find the answer for it, in our resources. Our in-house IP lawyer as well as our access to more than 100 lawyers in different practice areas, will ensure that you receive a professional answer.
