Patents and utility models
Patents and utility models (also known as "small patents") are property rights that are granted for technical inventions. They give their owner the opportunity to prohibit third parties from using the protected invention for commercial purposes.
Please also note our “small patent” service package, which is specially tailored for individual inventors and for small and medium-sized companies.
Trademarks
A trademark is used to identify the goods and services of a specific company. A registered trademark gives the trademark owner comprehensive protection against unauthorized use of his trademark by third parties.
Designs
Design protection protects forms or shapes of products from imitators.
Our services

- advising employers and employees on questions concerning the german employee invention law
