Welcome

Thank you for your visit. Our patent law firm has been based in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, since 1996. Since September 2020, we have also been present in Bruchsal, Baden-Württemberg, thus expanding our local services there.

We support our clients with the registration and maintenance of all intellectual property rights, with infringement issues and with expert opinions. Legal certainty is the primary objective of our work in all matters relating to your own or third-party property rights. We accompany this with our own research and evaluate the prospects of success of any pending legal proceedings from a technical, legal and economic perspective. We also assess the monetary value of your intellectual property rights for your company.
