Protect your inventions with patents and utility models. We are happy to support you in obtaining patents or utility models through a global filing strategy that is tailored to your needs. When working with the inventors, we attach particular importance to the detailed description of the invention in order to guarantee the broadest possible patent protection.
Our experienced patent attorneys will work closely with you to develop the most comprehensive and complete draft of the patent application. The patent application is then submitted to a national or international office as part of a filing strategy selected for your company. We would also be happy to advise you on economic and strategic issues relating to a patent strategy for your company.
As a rule, we recommend carrying out a patent search before drafting a patent application in order to take into account the determined documents from the prior art when drafting the patent application and thus to better focus the patent application on the essential distinguishing features of the invention. This often lays the foundation for a successful patent grant with a broader scope of protection.
We are also happy to prepare patent search reports in order to support our clients in deciding whether a patent application should be drawn up, whether a patent should be pursued or whether international subsequent applications should be filed.
We are happy to support you with the EP validation of granted European patents in all relevant countries. We take over the necessary formal procedures before the relevant offices.
For a global patent strategy, we offer you to file a PCT patent application. The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) enables you to obtain patents in 153 contracting states through an optimized patent granting process. A PCT patent application allows a decision to be made after the international phase of 30 or 31 months, in which of the 153 contracting states a national or regional phase is to be carried out.
