IP

We are the right firm if you search for high-level legal consultancy on all aspects of IP strategy, protection, enforcement and exploitation in Germany and Europe, including employee invention policy. In this context, we also provide assistance as German IP counsel to our clients on the creation and continuous development of their marketing strategy within the bounds of German and EU unfair competition law, lead generation, use of new media and social networks.

Please feel free to contact us, if you have an idea for a trade mark, even if you already use the sign, or if you are about to establish a company under a certain name and want to have the name checked with regard to prior name rights. Trademark protection is not only available for words, letters, numbers or logos, but also, in principle, for colors, shapes and acoustic signals. We can assist you in the filing of your trademark in Germany, Europe or most countries all over the world.

We recommend that you implement trademark monitoring to duly challenge competitors using the same or similar trademarks. We have long-standing experience in settling potential trade mark conflicts outside the courts. If required, we can represent you in the courts to enforce your rights.

Internet domains, like trademarks, are essential instruments to strengthen your position in the market. We will assist you in the selection and registration of your domain, as well as in securing such a domain through a trademark. We can represent you as German legal counsel in any disputes relating to internet domains.

We assist our clients in generating and defending their intellectual property, as well as in connection with licenses, buy-outs and company contracts.

Our IP practice is also concerned with unfair competition and supplementary protection, insofar as no other rights, especially registered rights, are available. This comprises advising in the fields of know-how protection and protection of trade or company secrets.
