WELCOME
As a German patent attorney I know the amount of time and costs needed for the development of a new product or the establishment of a Trade Mark / Service Mark. In most cases a protection of secrets cannot be realized for practical reasons. Therefore I offer legal advice for small or high business companies as well as start-ups and free inventors in all important fields of intellectual property rights and the protection of innovative performances.
Contrary to the legal system of the United States of America, the German legal system is characterized by two levels, both implied in the technical range as well as in the esthetical range (patents / utility models ; copyright / registered design). In each case the so-called “small coin” (utility models ; registered design) is constructed for quick availability and very low requirements in favor of anyone seeking legal protection. In this respect the more differentiated German intellectual property rights are furthermore completed by the judicial case law of unfair competition as mentioned in §§ 3 und 4 ff. UWG, which contains information on the third important field, namely the law of signs and marks.
According to my key aspects of activity and interests (menu), my work mainly consists in the individual advice and pursuance of an innovation starting with the period of development, followed by the application of property right and, after all, its assertion and pursuance. The team of the otherwise independent law office holds close contact to a national and international network of specialized attorneys and patent attorneys, so that I can offer my clients support for a wide range of interests and subjects.
