Besides the protection of technical inventions through patents and utility models, our services also cover all other kinds of protective titles, especially trademarks and designs.

The location of our office – only a few minutes from the German Patent and Trademark Office and from the European Patent Office – facilitates the handling of all services in the application and grant procedures and makes it possible to both expedite these procedures and to reduce the costs. Furthermore, we have an office in the domicile of the OHIM in Alicante, Spain.

We have long-standing relationships with colleagues in more than 70 countries. So we can assure our clients of a reliable processing of applications for foreign property rights and the attendance of their foreign protective titles. Our cooperation with the non-local lawyer`s and notary`s firm of Streitbörger-Speckmann enables us to extend our consultancy to economic law. Our working languages are German, English and French.
