Industrial property protection
Intellectual property law is not so much an independent field of law as an amalgamation of a wide variety of legal matters. It comprises industrial property rights of traders in intangible assets, for example utility models, trade marks or technical inventions.
Overview of the core services
The term industrial property rights covers various areas of law that serve to protect intellectual property or intangible assets such as patents, licences or trademarks.
Trademark Law
Trade mark applications in Germany, the EU, the USA and internationally; searches, expert opinions and support in the event of trade mark infringements – our experts specialising in trade mark law are there for you!
Patent law
Patents protect new technical inventions or manufacturing processes. From the search, application, to the exploitation and defence of patents – we are here to help you with your patent strategy.
Competition Law
Whether in sport or in everyday business life: competition is tough in many areas. Competition law ensures that he remains fair in business. How far are competitors allowed to go? How should the relationship between market participants be regulated? Do your contracts fulfil antitrust requirements? We will clarify all questions with you.
Licence law
Would you like to monetise your inventions, designs or trade marks? By granting licences, you can profit directly from your property rights without having to worry about the cost-intensive production and distribution yourself.
Media law
Internet, social media, press, TV and radio – wherever content is published, it must be handled in a legally compliant manner. Whether copyright, image rights, regulations for content creators, influencers and other media professionals: our lawyers are at your side.
Copyright law

Design law

Utility model law
The little brother of the patent, the utility model, is quicker, simpler and also cheaper than patent protection. Which industrial property right is the most suitable for you? Together we will find the most suitable IP right for your objectives and represent your legal interests in all official, extrajudicial and judicial proceedings.
Such a wealth of legal areas can be confusing for traders. Therefore, infringements of rights can quickly occur when operating a business, for example through the infringement of intellectual property or the violation of patent or naming rights. Such infringements can result in costly legal disputes.
The best way to prevent this is to contact an intellectual property lawyer.
But even if an infringement has already occurred, our lawyers are there for you.
