Copyright, Designs, Trademarks, Data

Your innovations, intellectual property (IP), data, trade secrets, and know-how are among your core assets. We provide strategic and legal support to protect and monetize these assets through intellectual property rights, confidentiality concepts, and contracts.

Our services include availability searches, trademark and design applications, monitoring, and property rights management at the national, European, and international levels – also in cooperation with our international network of colleagues. In addition or as an alternative, we implement appropriate confidentiality measures with you. We advise you on how to avoid infringing on the rights of third parties and how to enforce your rights against them, whether out-of-court, through border seizure proceedings, or in court.

Handling data has become increasingly relevant, and its importance continues to grow. We are your partner for compliance with regard to the protection of personal data, the utilization of machine-generated data, and the implementation of data-based business models (including AI).

To this end, we draft contracts, such as license, confidentiality, and distribution agreements; data usage agreements in accordance with the EU Data Act, and data protection documents in accordance with the GDPR. We also support your due diligence exercises and M&A transactions.
