Consulting

In addition to the classic patent attorney tasks and activities, such as drafting and prosecuting applications for intellectual property rights or conducting litigation proceedings before patent offices or courts, IP and technology-related advice is another important focus of our work.

The main focus here is on developing promising approaches at the interface between the highly diverse fields of technology, law, and business/entrepreneurship, which require very different experiences, in mostly global and often highly complex industries and starting points, and then consistently pursuing these approaches together with you.

This may involve, for example, building up in-house IP expertise, complex transactions in the field of technology transfer or mergers and acquisitions (M&A), for example to implement growth strategies, open up access to new technology-driven market segments or in the context of corporate succession.

    The fact that intellectual property has become an important prerequisite for successful business in many – particularly global, innovation-driven – industries is now a matter of course for many business leaders.

  • Technology Transfer

    Originally, the patent system was primarily intended to protect innovators from having their (technical) inventions copied or imitated legally and “cheaply” by anyone. Patents therefore served primarily as investment protection for inventive technical developments, allowing inventors or their companies to reap the fruits of the invention exclusively for the duration of patent protection without being deprived of their wages by unauthorized imitations by third parties. On the other hand, the publication of inventions associated with patent protection serves to promote innovation in general.

  • Technology Scouting

    In many industries, the dynamic advancement of traditional technologies and, in particular, the emergence of new technologies mean that companies can no longer secure a successful future based solely on their existing technological expertise. Instead, they must make new technologies available, navigate learning curves, and often enter into partnerships with companies in other technical fields in order to become “fit for the future.” Just think of the introduction of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), or so-called “big data” applications in a number of industries where this was not an issue in the past.

    Highly innovative technology companies in particular often have more new developments and business approaches than they can or want to realize within the scope of their core business, or existing core technologies become less important for the corporate strategy, e.g., due to a change in strategy or technology, or can no longer be developed on their own.

    The world of intellectual property naturally thrives on innovation and change. Accordingly, in order to remain competitive in the long term, one needs to continuously review one’s own knowledge and tools and bring them up to date. However, experience has shown that this is often tedious in the course of normal day-to-day business and is often neglected due to other short-term priorities.
