Trademark Law

A trademark is a powerful asset for any company and an important building block of entrepreneurial success. The protection of trademarks, as well as their enforcement and defense, are key services provided by our firm. We strategically support our clients in building and growing their national and international trademark portfolios, be it in the form of German trademarks registered with the German Patent and Trademark Office (DPMA), EU trademarks registered with the European Trademark Office (EUIPO), or international trademarks registered with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). With the help of our worldwide partner law firms, we also file national trademark applications in other countries, especially in the U.S.A., China, Japan, or South Korea. We manage the trademark portfolios of media companies as well as lifestyle brands, and we have extensive experience combating trademark infringements, both in and out of court. We also offer special expertise for the licensing of rights and for so-called "domain name grabbing".
