Intellectual Property (IP) Law

Companies from a wide range of industries – from global corporations to start-ups – trust us with the protection of their intellectual property and the legally sound structuring of marketing and distribution strategies.

We assist in developing brand strategies, support trademark registrations, and represent clients in infringement proceedings. Our goal is to protect our clients’ intellectual property, safeguard competitive advantages, and minimize legal risks.

Our Expertise in Detail

Trademark Law Advisory

We support companies in building, protecting, and commercially utilizing trademarks strategically. We develop tailored brand strategies, conduct trademark searches, and manage national and international trademark registrations.

In cases of trademark infringement – such as product piracy or the distribution of grey market goods – we enforce our clients’ rights in and out of court.

We also draft and negotiate trademark-related contracts, including delimitation agreements, purchase contracts, and license agreements, ensuring trademarks are comprehensively protected.

Opposition, Infringement & Nullity Proceedings for Trademarks, Patents & IP Rights

We represent companies in opposition, infringement, and nullity proceedings related to trademarks, patents, and other intellectual property rights.

We review third-party IP applications, file oppositions, and defend our clients’ rights in and out of court.

We also pursue the cancellation or invalidation of unlawful IP rights and assess the enforceability of existing protections.

IP Licensing Models and Agreements

We develop customized IP licensing models and draft legally secure license agreements that protect our clients’ interests and ensure optimal commercial use of their intellectual property.

We cover all aspects such as license scope, compensation, territorial exclusivity, usage rights, and contract terms.

We also work to avoid risks like unclear license conditions or breaches. In addition, we support negotiations and reviews of existing or international license agreements.

(Advertising) Agency Agreements

We draft and negotiate agency agreements to ensure that our clients can legally and efficiently implement creative projects. We clarify key issues – from scope of services and compensation to rights of use, approval processes, and liability clauses.

We ensure that copyright and usage rights are clearly defined and help avoid legal risks related to trademarks, images, and content. We also advise during contract disputes between clients and agencies.

Legal Aspects of Marketing & Advertising (Websites, Social Media, Contests, Print & other Media)

We advise on the legal aspects of marketing and advertising – from websites and social media to contests, print, and digital campaigns.

We review content for legal risks, address questions on copyright, trademark, and competition law, and ensure advertising complies with all legal requirements.

We help prevent warnings and legal conflicts, draft legally compliant contest terms, and support data privacy compliance in marketing.

Protection of Trade and Business Secrets

We protect our clients’ trade and business secrets by non-disclosure agreements, regulating the handling of sensitive information, and safeguarding interests in collaborations, projects, and negotiations.

In cases of breaches, we take decisive action – from issuing warnings to pursuing litigation. We investigate suspected violations, implement protective measures, and enforce claims for injunctions, damages, and information disclosure.

Copyrights, Exploitation Rights & Infringement Proceedings

We help companies protect and commercially exploit creative works such as texts, images, designs, or software.

We regulate exploitation rights, negotiate licensing agreements, and ensure rights are clearly defined and enforceable.

In the event of copyright infringement, we assert claims for cease-and-desist orders, damages, and information. We also defend against unjustified claims.

IP Litigation

We enforce our clients’ rights regarding trademarks, patents, designs, and copyrights – both in and out of court. We issue cease-and-desist letters, apply for preliminary injunctions, and challenge unjustified claims.

We develop effective defense strategies, assess each case, evaluate risks and opportunities, and guide our clients through every procedural step.

Product Piracy

We help companies effectively protect their products from imitation and counterfeiting. We identify plagiarized goods, take action against counterfeiters, and rigorously enforce our clients’ rights – in and out of court.

We also develop strategies to detect infringements early and permanently reduce risks.
