Intellectual property rights.
It is often not taken into account that in Germany there is basically freedom of imitation as long as no property right restricts this freedom of imitation. Thus, by making one’s own intellectual work public, without an existing property right, the solution found is made available to everyone.

Experiences before different Courts
Particularly in the recent past, in addition to extensive technical experience, I have also gained experience from numerous patent, utility model, design and trademark disputes, in which I very successfully enforce and defend my clients’ rights in and out of court, both independently and (where necessary or appropriate) in cooperation with renowned law firms. I also do have very valuable contacts throughout the world to protect or enforce your rights wherever necessary.
