↣ Expert opinion
The sheer number and the hardly unmanageable scope of protection of granted IP rights require a precise analysis of the IP situation in quite a few situations - be it the development, introduction or marketing of new products, the identification of future market opportunities or the acquisition of companies or parts of companies. Based on a search of competitors or specific fields of technology, we analyse and evaluate possible conflicts or future opportunities - depending on the assignment.
↣ Granting
The application and the granting procedure are not only the most challenging in the case of technical IP rights, but both also essentially determine the quality of an IP right. Even the most far-reaching inventive idea is of little use if it is not converted into an enforceable IP right. Our technical and legal qualifications, coupled with decades of experience in drafting patent applications and conducting grant proceedings before all relevant patent authorities worldwide, guarantee both the effectiveness and efficiency of grant proceedings.
↣ Enforcement
Industrial property rights are pure prohibition rights. Action against the unauthorised user is therefore part of the essence of patents, utility models and trade marks. Such action involves effort, costs and risks and therefore needs to be well planned and carried out in a targeted manner. We plan and organise the enforcement of your rights - and do so worldwide with lawyers we know personally, even in the most distant foreign countries.
↣ Licences
If you yourself do not want to or cannot use an invention or your competitor had a brilliant idea, then it is time to think about licences and perhaps enter into negotiations in the next step. Here it is important to draft contracts in such a way that not only your will is put into words, but also future developments of a cooperation can be accompanied and moderated.
