Protect the branding of your products and services with trademarks
As a patent attorney, I provide advice on trademark law and guide you from the initial idea to the defense of your trademark rights. I conduct trademark searches to determine whether the brand you have developed can be registered. I also handle the preparation of the trademark application and file it with the appropriate office for you. Depending on your business field, I will work with you to develop a filing strategy that best suits your needs. Trademark applications may be filed with the German Patent and Trademark Office (DPMA), the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), or offices in Switzerland or Benelux. My services also include monitoring the application process and representing your interests before trademark offices.
Even after your trademark has been registered, I will continue to assist you. I provide advice and representation in defending your trademark against oppositions and cancellation requests, as well as in enforcing your rights arising from the trademark in infringement proceedings. My service offerings also include monitoring trademarks and trademark applications of your competitors, conducting legal status inquiries both domestically and abroad, and providing opinions on the validity of trademarks. For problematic trademarks of competitors, I prepare infringement opinions or assist you with oppositions or cancellation requests against such trademarks.
