Our Firm
Over a period of 20 years we have been providing professional support in all areas of Intellectual Property (IP) Law, especially in the fields of trademarks, designs, domain names, unfair competition law, copyright and patents as well as in all related fields.
In these branches of law we assist our clients in the prosecution and strategic portfolio management of their IP rights not only in Europe but worldwide, as well as in the enforcement (litigation) of their IP rights, such as in trademark and design infringement lawsuits. We represent our clients in opposition, cancellation and nullity proceedings.

The latter results are based on a survey among Corporate Lawyers’ recommendations of law firms conducted by the Bundesverband der Unternehmensjuristen e.V.
