IP Litigation
Intellectual Property is a key asset for modern companies. Trademarks, designs and copyrights secure innovative advantages, brand identity and economic success. If these rights are infringed – or if there is an allegation of infringement – decisive and strategically astute action is required.
We specialise in out-of-court and in-court representation in Intellectual Property. Whether product piracy, trademark infringement, allegations of plagiarism or unfair imitation – we examine the prospects of success, analyse the legal context and represent our clients in warning letter proceedings. If legal proceedings are initiated, we develop an individual litigation strategy, which we pursue in consultation with our clients. This includes preliminary injunction proceedings as well as main action proceedings. At the same time, we keep an eye on possible out-of-court solutions vis settlement negotiations.
Our expertise also covers complex disputes with an international dimension. In cross-border court proceedings, we draw on a proven network of international colleagues and coordinate the various proceedings in line with a uniform litigation strategy.
