Our expert legal support and advice are not only restricted to the application for, enforcement and defense of property rights in the event of property right infringements. We also assist our clients when it comes to the planning and implementation of successful property right strategies, the care and administration of national and international property right portfolios and the evaluation of these portfolios, including all relevant contracts due as part of due-diligence analyses. In all of these activities, we can fall back on a global network of international firms of patent and specialist lawyers.
Moreover, we advise and represent our clients in all matters pertaining to copyright and competition law. Our advice includes supporting the development, concept and creation of our clients’ marketing. But we also represent our clients in disputes entertained both out of court and in court, particularly pertaining to settlement negotiations, warning letters and proceedings for preliminary injunctions and actual complaints.
Another area of our activity is the care and advice of our clients with regard to supplementary protection certificates (SPCs), particularities of advertising legislation (drug advertising law) and issues of statutory approval for pharmaceutical products, e.g. in areas of innovative therapeutic procedures such as "tissue engineering".
Yet another area of specialization of our activities can be found in the support of our clients during the negotiation, drafting and conclusion of contracts, particularly of research and cooperation contracts, contracts on the commercial exploitation of property rights (sales and license agreements), confidentiality and material transfer agreements and contracts for work and services during the approval process of pharmaceutical products.
