Before sending your inquiry
Confidential Information and Deadlines
Submitting an inquiry does not establish a professional engagement or transfer responsibility for a deadline. Please wait for our express written confirmation that we can accept the matter.
Please send instructions at least five business days before the deadline, and earlier where translation, evidence or supporting documents are needed. For urgent matters, state the circumstances and required action clearly so we can assess whether we can assist.
For annuities and renewals, the mandate defines the work and deadlines we handle. Payment requires specific instructions and any required cleared funds. Appointment alone does not authorize automatic maintenance.
Personal information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

FAQ
Before You Contact Us
What information is needed for a fee estimate?
A brief outline, the requested work, relevant application or registration numbers, applicant details, document and translation requirements, and any exact deadline. Include counts such as claims, classes, designs or rights where they affect the work.
Can I attach documents?
The existing form accepts non-confidential PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG and PNG files, up to 5 MB. Please wait for acceptance before sending confidential materials. If you have several files or a larger document set, email an outline of the materials first.
Can you communicate and report in English?
Yes. Instructions, correspondence, estimates, reports and invoices can be handled in English. We confirm the required report format and scope for the matter.
What should I do if the deadline is close?
State the exact deadline, time zone, action required and any prior extension history. Please await our express written acceptance before relying on us for the deadline. An inquiry alone does not transfer responsibility.
How do I know the form was received?
Check the submission status displayed by the form and any correspondence from us. If you do not receive a response, contact info@cita2ip.com directly. A form success message is not confirmation that we have accepted the matter.
Can I request only a search, opinion or consultation?
Yes. Send a non-confidential description of the technology or rights, the question to be answered, desired report, timing and budget. See IP Support for the scope and hourly fee basis.
