  In an increasingly internet-driven economy, visibility is a decisive competitive advantage. The domain is therefore an asset whose value can hardly be overestimated. Even simple domains regularly cost four-digit amounts, top domains even millions. The question of who has which rights to an internet address is therefore often the core issue in a trademark dispute or contractual arrangements. We will be happy to advise you.

  Intellectual property is an important economic asset. In many cases, a trademark, copyright, design or business idea is not only exploited through personal use, but also through licensing to third parties who pay license fees. Here it is important to find clear and reliable regulations as to which rights are transferred, which reciprocal obligations exist and how compensation is to be regulated. We support you if you, as licensor, want to license your trademark to third parties or if you, as licensee, have questions about a license agreement.

  The protection of intellectual property is the core competence of our law firm. And patents are the prototype of intellectual property. They give their owner a monopoly right to an invention. In the event of an actual or potential patent infringement, everything depends on the right attack or defense strategy. As experienced litigators, we can provide you with competent support if your patent is infringed or if a claim is made against you for patent infringement.
