Industrial Property Rights

Product piracy, trademark abuse, misleading commercial practices, and the theft of intellectual property represent existential threats that can inflict lasting damage on companies. Effective intellectual property protection is therefore far more than a formal necessity—it is the strategic safeguarding of your innovative strength and market position. 

Intellectual property law bundles all the instruments for the protection of your intangible assets: from the rigorous enforcement of trademark rights to the defense against anti-competitive practices.

Industrial property rights form the foundation of your company’s success and represent considerable material as well as intangible value. Whether trademarks, designs, or utility models – these protective rights are far more than legal formalities: They are valuable assets that determine a large part of your market value and play a crucial role in financial transactions and investments. 

To sustainably expand your market position, we establish effective strategies for professional management and seamless safeguarding of your intangible assets—both nationally and internationally. Our goal is to prevent unfair competition in advance and to ensure that your innovations and intellectual property contribute exclusively to your economic success. We resolutely defend your market identity against abuse and create the legal foundation for your long-term and secure growth.

The Act Against Unfair Competition (Gesetz gegen den unlauteren Wettbewerb, UWG) forms the regulatory backbone for a fair market. Even though it does not establish an absolute protective right (such as a trademark), it safeguards your commercial activity in direct relation to your competitors. We utilize the “rules of the game” of fair competition law to protect your company from unfair business practices such as misleading advertising, targeted obstruction, or the exploitation of reputation.

What we do for you

We review your marketing and advertising strategies for you in terms of competition law. We support you, for example, in the development of names or trademarks, in the registration of trademarks at the German Patent and Trademark Office, in the marketing of your products – especially in the legally compliant design of your advertising to protect you from attacks by competitors. We also draft license agreements for you and support you, for example, in concluding delimitation agreements.

We help you to assert your interests, e.g. if your competitors advertise with unfair means, or violate your trademark. In doing so, we design individual warnings and cease and desist declarations for you and help you to assert your interests in court. This also applies if you have been warned about an infringement.

Our clients in the field of intellectual property rights include large companies, SMEs as well as start ups in all sectors, for example a large German advertising marketer or medium-sized companies from the catering or textile industry.
