Trademark Law
Trademarks make goods and services unmistakable, they convey a desire for the product. We support you from the initial idea, through the development of a concise brand, to the establishment of a comprehensive brand portfolio. Not only is the selection of the identifier important, but the protection strategy is also decisive in order to secure and expand a market position. We keep this in mind. We represent you at the German Patent and Trademark Office (DPMA), the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
