Whether information technology, biotechnology, electronics, mechanical engineering or other technology-driven industries – we offer comprehensive expertise and individual solutions for our clients with a technical focus.
We understand the complex challenges associated with technical innovations and are therefore competent partners in the registration and enforcement of patents and utility models as well as in matters of trademark and copyright law – both at national and international level.

We establish customised processes in close cooperation with our clients: We take the time to understand needs and circumstances in depth and pool all our expertise and network contacts in order to offer individual, promising solutions.
