Defending attacked IP rights
Since your IP rights potentially compromise your competitors’ freedom to operate, you will regularly see your patents, utility models, trademarks and designs being challenged.
From utility model cancellation proceedings to oppositions against trademark registrations and European patent opposition proceedings, we will be at your side when it comes to defending your IP rights. We will assess your individual initial situation and look for solutions in consultation with you. In some cases, negotiation skills help to successfully defend third-party claims without further escalation, for instance through licensing. It many cases, however, it is necessary to go through inter-partes proceedings, for instance before the German Patent and Trade Mark Office, the German Federal Patent Court, the European Patent Office or the European Union Intellectual Property Office. We will represent you in all opposition, cancellation and revocation proceedings, bundling our legal, litigation and technical expertise.
