Intellectual Property & Technology Transfer
Beyond creating, registering, and maintaining brands, our office is always ready to protect innovative products and solutions, which are key to the value of a business. We view the protection and management of intellectual property (IP) as a strategic matter that is integral to a company’s operation.
Our intellectual property staff advises clients on the protection, enforcement, and exploitation of all types of IP rights, including: patents, copyright, trademarks, designs, database rights, know-how, trade secrets, and protection from slavish copying and other violations under the law on unfair competition.
Strategic Protection:
Under conditions of an informal economy, consumer protection from forged patents and trademarks is critical. Counterfeiting not only undermines the company's image but can endanger the consumer. We are committed to finding the fastest legal solutions to protect your interests. Working closely with our tax and competition colleagues enables us to find practical solutions to complex IP issues.
