Our work in intellectual property

With more than 140 employees, our office represents big and small European and foreign clients, including clients from America and Asia.

Value your idea

Perhaps you want to turn your discovery or invention into a commercial success or to interest investors or manufacturers in these ideas. Before you do, it is important to properly establish the intellectual property of your discovery or invention and protect it against imitations by competitors. In this way, you will reap the full financial benefits of your work.
