Intellectual property rights:
Protecting ideas

The sustainable protection of one's own innovations, products or designs is a necessary prerequisite for opening up new markets and differentiating oneself from the competition.

With the right protection mechanisms (e.g. applying for a patent, registering a trademark or protecting a design), temporary monopolies on inventions and technologies can be established and competitive advantages achieved.

Our patent attorneys and attorneys-at-law support you in achieving the best possible protection for your ideas - both technologically and commercially. A strong non-competition clause rounds off these protective measures and protects your innovative strength from imitators.

Which property right is suitable for which innovation?

Patent law

Patent protection offers the most comprehensive protection for technical and scientific inventions and innovative technologies. A patent can be valid for up to 20 years.

Utility model law

Utility model protection is suitable for smaller technical innovations. A utility model also protects technical innovations, but is faster and cheaper than a patent.

Trademark law

Trademark protection is ideal for securing products or services in the long term by protecting names, logos or slogans. A registered trademark prevents competitors from using similar signs.

Design right

Design protection protects the external design of products and ensures that the design (e.g. shapes, patterns and colors) is protected against imitation.

Competition law

The protection of advertising measures is important to prevent unfair competition and imitation by competitors. Legally protected advertising measures help, among other things, to stand out from the competition and effectively protect marketing strategies in the long term.

Protecting business secrets

The protection of trade secrets is just as important. Confidential information, such as innovative processes or strategies, is an essential component of a company's success. With the right legal protective measures, sensitive data can be prevented from being leaked.
