Patents
Create protection. Preserve room for maneuver.
Patents protect technical innovations – and create economic leeway. They not only secure exclusive rights of use, but also open up strategic options: from Market Foreclosure and licensing models to Investment Security and technological visibility.
We accompany you through the entire Patent Lifecycle – from the initial idea through Application and Enforcement to the ongoing support of your portfolio. We think with legal precision, technically on equal footing and with a clear view of your business goals. Whether an individual invention or global IP management: we ensure that technology becomes IP Rights – and IP Rights become a Competitive Advantage.
What we can do for you
Whether protection, defense or commercial exploitation of your technical innovations – we support you throughout the entire life cycle of your IP Rights. Our services cover all relevant areas of Industrial Property Law: from sound applications, examination and Opposition Proceedings to the enforcement of your rights before national and international authorities. We also support you with strategic issues relating to IP management, transactions, licensing and the legal protection of Software and AI inventions. Technically adept, legally precise, strategically forward-looking – we ensure that your ideas become a head start.

In focus: External IP management
Your outsourced patent department - flexible, scalable, integrated.
A permanent in-house IP team is often too broad or too narrow – but rarely precise. Our external IP management works differently: you have access to the expertise you need at any given time – be it strategic consulting, operational support or technical depth in a specific specialist area. Without overhead, without frictional losses – but with the certainty that
➝ Strategic and operational IP management
From invention evaluation to portfolio alignment - technically sound and practical.
➝ Modular support as required
Consulting, Project Manager or Interim Role - selectively or as a permanent solution.
➝ Coordination with R&D, Legal and Firms
Seamless integration into existing structures and efficient process control.
➝ FTO analyses, monitoring and AI-supported research
Technologically up-to-date tools for well-founded decisions and risk hedging.
Our technical areas of expertise
Technical complexity is not an obstacle for us, but part of everyday life. Our team combines legal know-how with a sound technical background from a wide range of specialist disciplines. This enables us not only to protect your inventions legally, but also to penetrate their content and argue them convincingly – vis-à-vis patent offices, courts and business partners.
Our approach is interdisciplinary, solution-oriented and close to technological practice. We not only keep an eye on Protectability, but also on usability, scalability and strategic fit – both nationally and internationally.
