Intellectual property law

A company or an individual wishes to protect a technical invention in order to utilize it exclusively or license it to a third party.

A successful market presence requires the protection of the corporate identity (advertising presence, name, brand), business models and trade secrets of the company from being copied and exploited, usually by a competitor. A competitor advertises in an anti-competitive manner.

All of these challenges include intellectual property law, so-called law of unfair commercial practices and, more recently, trade secret law.

Our practice areas are:

• Competition law
• Trademark law and branding law
