Move markets.
The automotive market is different from other mass markets. Developments are highly complex, yet at the same time highly regulated and tailored to a specific market. In many cases, patent protection that is limited to a particular region—let’s say to Germany, for example—is enough to create effective barriers to market entry throughout Europe. Very few competitors would go so far as to develop their own vehicle concept solely for the German market.
At FLACH BAUER & PARTNER, we think exactly in terms of such protective dimensions. Our patent attorneys have technical expertise in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and software—and are familiar with the challenges that are typical in the industry, from sensors to system integration. We speak the same language as your developer teams—and formulate protection strategies that combine technical depth with financial effectiveness.
We have extensive experience in working with both OEMs and suppliers, and know how to protect technical innovation strategically.
Protection strategy.
Technical mindset meets financial strategy.
A strong patent in the automotive sector not only safeguards a function—it also secures an edge in the market. We evaluate where your USP lies, and develop protection strategies that make financial sense and are legally effective.
Whether it’s sensor technology, power unit, HMI or vehicle integration—we formulate IP rights that have technical depth, clear language, and real added value. We turn complex technologies into comprehensible solutions—without the legal jargon.
In the case of international applications, we select the target countries carefully—those where there is competitive pressure and your technology has potential.
For development teams, design teams, and decision-makers
We provide sound advice—even during the development phase. Whether it’s filing an application, defending or providing support as an outsourced IP unit: We contribute ideas, on equal terms with engineering and management. We are also a reliable partner for DE/EU intellectual property rights for international law firms and suppliers.
