A trademark may be essential for the protection of the identity and uniqueness of your products or services in the market. Together with you we seek for an appropriate designation and search whether it could infringe existing trademark rights. According to your specifications we prepare the list of goods and services which describes what should be protected by your trademark. We file the the application for German, European or international trademark protection. We correspond with the authorities in charge in order to achieve a registration of your mark as soon as possible.
 Designation rights, however, do not only comprise registered trademarks but also trade, business or internet domain names. We inform you about the differences and help you to achieve optimal protection of your market position by the combination of designation rights. This also includes assistance in the purchase or sale of trademarks.
We care for the maintenance of your trademark protection. This includes the control of deadlines for the payment of fees and the representation in possible opposition or nullity proceedings. On request we let monitor the possible application of trademarks which could be regarded as similar to yours. By this it may be prevented that the range of protection granted by your trademark is narrowed by the registration of a similar trademark.
By the intelligent use of trademarks you may not only be able to develop your international distribution network according to your own needs but you may even be able to stop unwanted parallel trade. We disclose to you, how this may be achieved.
In case of an infringement of your trademark rights we enforce your claims effectively. This includes warnings, sequestration, injunctions, infringement proceedings and enforcement of damage claims.
If you yourself should be subject of a warning based on trademark rights or be sued, we evaluate the factual and legal situation and propose appropriate strategies for defense. If the alleged claims should not be justified, we avert the offense. Otherwise we represent you in out of court settlement negotiations or in litigation. Thereby, our goal will always be to minimize the possible commercial damage for your company.
