We Do Beautiful Things
IP Strategy Consulting
We help you analyse your market and your products‘ standings in the market. We let you know which type of patent strategy your products need. And we will of course apply the strategy when drafting your patent applications.
Process Implementation
Let us have a look at your internal processes. We find the weaknesses and provide a solution. Whether the employee inventor’s right or the handling of new inventions, we find improvements.
Drafting, Filing, Prosecution
Our craftsmanship of course comprises the drafting, filing and prosecution of IP applications. Whether you need a patent, a trademark or a design, we provide highest quality services. The more you help us understand your needs, the more we can unburden you from having to care about these proceedings.
Legal Disputes
Infringement cases, nullity cases, preliminary injunctions. National and international. Whatever Court or Authority: We have huge experience and a strong worldwide network.
Experienced
We have been working a tight schedule with thousands of cases over the last decades. Serving clients in all sizes, from single inventor to worldwide corporations, in friendly fire and in hostile situations, we will most likely have a similar case in our magic box, to practically every situation.
Tutorial Videos
Our tutorial videos are helpful for you to understand the standard processes. However, their importance goes further: The can be understood as a symbol for our letting you know the processes in detail. The better we succeed in making you understand the processes, the better we can discuss with you at eye level.
Personal
We pride ourselves of giving each client personal attention. In order to serve you best, we need to understand your and your case’s desires. Do you need a quick granting for the patent, do you only need a patent application as a marketing tool, etc. Of course, we adopt an individual solution for each case, and you can rely on receiving our honest opinion on your ideas.
Love Is In The Air
Whatever case we discuss with you, we will always do our best to keep you in a good mood. We are convinced that Patents and their family can really make fun. They offer so many strategic and tactical possibilities that you will feel as if you were in a big children’s sandpit.
Powerful
In our work history, which sums up to more than 150 man-years, we have handled thousands of patent applications: in Germany, at the European Patent Office, and in dozens of worldwide Patent Offices. So far, every single patent application has lead to a granted patent (unless, of course, the applicant decided to not pursue the application any further). We draw all available cards, and we have often had positive experience with talking to the Authority Examiners.
Workshops & Seminars
Of course, you are always welcome to have your employees take part in a workshop or seminar. We come and visit you at your site, so that your team does not have to move. Define your goals with us, and we will come up with a matching format.
