Legal advice
In comprehensive legal advice, you will receive an overview of the relevant intellectual property rights for your invention, including preliminary research and representation before German patent and trademark offices by a patent attorney or lawyer who is subject to confidentiality.
Licensing, sale of property rights
Of course, we are also available to you in the context of exploitation issues, for example when drafting and analyzing license or purchase agreements.
Registration of a property right
After the order has been placed, the patent attorney works out an application for intellectual property rights in dialogue with the inventor, which is then submitted to the responsible authority. We work with qualified and renowned colleagues when it comes to registering intellectual property rights abroad. All property right applications go through at least a formal official examination, after which the property right is usually registered. However, for patent applications, a request for examination must be submitted before they are granted.
Infringement of intellectual property rights
In the event of infringements of intellectual property rights, we work closely with lawyers to assist you and analyze the case constellations as well as your own/opponent's intellectual property rights so that you can assert your interests in the ordinary courts in the best possible way for you.
Granting or registration procedure
In the patent granting process or in the trademark registration process, we provide you with commentary as patent attorneys and formulate the necessary submissions to official decisions to obtain a property right with the maximum possible scope of protection for you.
Objection procedure
Even after a property right has been granted or registered, your property right can be attacked due to older rights of third parties. Here we thoroughly analyze the scope of protection of the opposing property right for you and find an optimal result for our client either within the framework of an extra-official agreement or in official proceedings. The successful defense of your intellectual property rights is our primary goal.
