IP and Competition
Reliable partner with broad legal expertise.
As a partner for mid-sized and industrial enterprises, our legal work focusses on the protection of intellectual property and the business asset it represents. We advise and represent clients in the application for commercial copyright, as well as its licensing and defence.
From the preparation of trademark and design registrations, administration of design and trademark portfolios including research and monitoring, all the way to managing licensing of property and copyrights, we offer a wide range of competences backed by extensive experience.
With a view to unfair competition, we advise and assist our clients from the earliest development stages of their product, marketing, and advertising strategies in order to avoid legal conflict. Reviewing the design and content of online shops, web sites, and advertising materials are a central component of this process, as is the elimination of disadvantages to our clients from unfair activities of competitors.
