Intellectual Property
The most original logo, the funniest slogan, the trendiest design: in the end, all this is only worth as much as its protection. When it comes to the registration of intellectual property rights, acting quickly is important. In most cases, the early bird catches the worm. But not all creative works can be registered. Individual and customized protection strategies are required here, which our specialists will be happy to develop with you. Depending on your needs, we will protect your services in Austria, in Europe and worldwide in the most important non-European markets. If you use creative services of third parties or wish to sell your own services, we create security through sophisticated contract design and support in contract negotiations. Through continuous monitoring, in many cases we are able to detect infringements of your rights at an early stage and take action before any damage occurs. If necessary, we also enforce your claims before courts and authorities.
