Patent

Patents protect technical inventions. New technologies are valuable and can be exclusively protected by patents or utility models to hold off competitors. Patents reflect the innovative capacity of a company. Patents will be examined while utility models will be registered without substantial examination. We will advise you about the best alternative for your project. We assist you to use these intellectual property rights in the best possible manner.

We directly represent you before the German Patent and Trademark Office and the European Patent Office. We work closely with a widespread net of international associates for handling patent matters other than before the GPTO and EPO.
