Take the product apart and find where a protectable technical solution actually sits.
What we do
What we do
Six areas of practice. Each one starts with the engineering, not with a document template.
IT patents
We patent algorithms, data-processing methods, hardware-software systems, interfaces and other computer-implemented solutions so that the technical substance is clear to engineers, to the examiner and to the court.
Read more →Software and databases
We register programs and databases, prepare the filing package and build a provable chain of title to the code.
Read more →Patent searches and FTO
We check novelty, patentability and freedom to operate for IT products before development, launch or market entry.
Read more →Foreign filing
We build a foreign protection strategy for IT solutions through the PCT, the EAPO and national phases, taking market, budget and patentability into account.
Read more →Trademarks and designs
We protect names, interfaces, visual solutions and industrial designs of digital products.
Read more →Disputes and expert opinions
We prepare court and pre-trial opinions on patent rights, means of individualisation and IT matters.

Four stages in the life of an IP asset. Every situation is an entry point into one of them.
A patent, software or database registration, an industrial design, a trademark, or a combination.
Deals, licences, investment, due diligence and entry into new markets.
Demands, disputes, invalidation, forensic examination and evidence of use.
