What We Offer

Protection

For your technical inventions, we set up an extensive and solid “protective fence” in the form of patents and utility models.

To brand your products and services, we develop and register strong and enforceable trademarks.

We protect the design and shape of your products against imitation effectively through design patents.

Freedom to Operate

We prevent you from unintentionally unhinging a third party’s IP. We show you the gaps between and within the IP of competitors.

We design and negotiate license agreements for the use of third-party know-how and the marketing of your own know-how.

We analyze and evaluate your IP portfolio and those of your competitors and partners in the context of due diligence procedures.

Assistance with Conflicts

We protect you against the unauthorized use of your IP, and assert and enforce your legitimate claims

We defend your IP against attacks by third parties.

We identify and destroy the illegitimate IP of competitors.
