Innovation needs protection
Market protection.
Protection for ideas that are out there in everyday life
Are you constantly developing new products or applications? We're happy to support you as an outsourced IP department, even if you don’t have your own in-house IP department. Together, we can ensure that your innovations not only happen, but are protected and fully exploited commercially as well.
Contribute ideas. Protect. Implement.
We will evaluate what makes your innovation really special—and develop a protection strategy based on this that fits your product, your market, and your budget. From the initial idea through to enforcement: We will provide clear advice, act with a business mindset, and protect your developments effectively.
1. Advice
Create clarity
Which of your developments are to be protected—and what is really worth protecting? We will talk to your development and product managers in order to identify together where the specific customer benefit is—and which intellectual property right is appropriate.
EXAMPLE
An SME is developing a new clutch for agricultural machinery. Does the added value for the farmer lie in the more efficient interaction of the technical components, or in the new function that is now possible?
2. Strategy
Utilize protection correctly
Are you a leader in your field or are you launching a new product line? We will work with you to consider how the best possible protection can be achieved even with a fixed IP budget—practically, realistically, and guided by a business perspective.
EXAMPLE
An SME is bringing to market a control unit that is innovative in the field of mechanical engineering, offers several advantages, and solves existing problems.
We will develop an IP strategy that protects the technology internationally—tailored to the target group and budget.
3. Intellectual property right application
Clear, intelligible, effective
We will assist you with an application, guide you through the examination procedure and help with maintenance—always with the aim of achieving the best possible protection for your innovation. Comprehensible, structured and with a view to long-term impact.
EXAMPLE
A mid-tier company registers a new manufacturing process—the protection obtained leads to exclusivity, not only for the process, but also for the end products securing its added value on various levels.
4. Enforcement
Protection that works
We will keep competitors at bay—and prepare for the worst-case scenario, should you ever become the target of a patent dispute. Whether you want to pursue patent infringements, defend yourself against allegations, or negotiate license agreements: We will act in a way that makes commercial sense and maintain a clear focus on your corporate goals.
EXAMPLE
A competitor infringes your patent. We will check the prospects of success and give you an honest assessment of the legal situation and potential scenarios. If desired, we will enforce the property right consistently—quickly, pragmatically, and with technical clarity.
