Advisory services for founders concearning industrial property rights
To find an answer to all these questions, a consultation with a patent attorney is extremely helpful. Traditional consulting services for company founders such as start-up centers, a corporate accelerator or an incubator do not adequately cover aspects of industrial property for many business ideas. There is often a lack of a reasonable risk assessment based on experience in order to put the costs and benefits of patent and trademark applications in the respective situation into a reasonable relationship. We have experienced that there is often an "all or nothing" philosophy. Either the respective advisors have a fundamentally negative attitude towards patents and only see patent applications from a cost perspective; or they even overestimate the opportunities that patent rights can actually offer for the respective start-up.
In order to be able to help here, our law firm, together with external experts, offers advice at the interface between start-up centers, corporate accelerators, incubators and patent attorneys. Our external experts work in various fields and have already founded several companies themselves. This gives them a different perspective on the practical importance of intellectual property, which greatly enriches our work as patent attorneys. Our firm contributes extensive experience from patent attorney practice. We also advise on the various funding opportunities in the field of industrial property protection.
