Sharing the most valuable resources of a company is a matter of trust. We act as our clients’ trusted advisor and sparring partner in all IPR matters worldwide. We help and advise on matters such as drafting, prosecution, freedom to operate (FTO) analysis, IP administration, licensing, oppositions, litigation, trademark and design registration and much more.
Highly competent in turning our ideas into patents. Always providing timely information about deadlines and a great cooperating partner.

Ultimately, we help our clients generate tangible financial results by defining clear IPR objectives through a creative, flexible and professional process.
