Did you know that under German law you have
the right to make an exact copy – down to the last millimetre – of
a machine not protected by intellectual property rights? And
did you know that, in Germany, you could be prohibited from using
an unregistered trademark, even if you have been using it for
years?
Technical innovations, branded articles, corporate identity
and distinctive design require appropriate legal protection to
keep competitors at bay.
Patents and utility models provide protection
for technical innovations; registered trademarks protect brands
and corporate logos, and design patents safeguard new designs.
We will prepare the application documents for these protective
rights on your behalf and represent you before the German Patent
and Trademark Office, the German Federal Patent Court and Federal
Supreme Court, the European Patent Office, the European Trademark
Office and the World Intellectual Property Organization.
We also
have regular contact with qualified patent and trademark attorneys
in all relevant countries enabling us to obtain and implement
protective rights in the respective markets for companies operating
internationally.
On request we will also supervise and administer
your protective rights to ensure that to avoid unintentional
forfeiture of any of your rights, whether at home or abroad.
