Trademarks & license plates
A name deserves a legal basis.
A company name, product name or logo often accompanies significant investments. We help you prepare a trademark application, use agreements and disputes over business trademarks. The starting point is your actual products, markets and development plans.
Discuss your matterAdvice & representation
Before registering, we clarify which sign is to be protected, for which goods or services and in which countries. It is just as important which research is useful as a basis for decision-making. Registration and assessment of potential conflicts are different work steps. We therefore expressly agree with you on the scope of the examination, registration and any further support.
We are investigating attacks against trademark registration and possible steps against younger brands. Depending on the procedure, the status of the register, use, affected goods and services and deadlines must be clarified.
