Trademark Law

What a reputation is to a person, a brand is to a company.

Every case is dif­fer­ent in trade­mark law and a pos­sible like­li­hood of con­fu­sion must be as­sessed in each in­di­vidu­al case. You be­ne­fit from our many years of ex­per­i­ence and spe­cial­iz­a­tion, as law­yer Stephan Mathé has been a Spe­cial­ist Law­yer for In­tel­lec­tu­al Prop­erty Rights since 2009.

On the as­sets side, we ad­vise you on the re­gis­tra­tion of trade­marks and the mon­it­or­ing of your trade­mark port­fo­lio. After care­ful re­search and the ex­am­in­a­tion of any ab­so­lute and re­l­at­ive obstacles to pro­tec­tion, we carry out your trade­mark ap­plic­a­tion in Ger­many, the European Uni­on or – in co­oper­a­tion with one of our loc­al part­ner law firms – in se­lec­ted third coun­tries.

In the event that your trade­mark, your work title or your com­pany name is in­fringed by a third party, we will is­sue warn­ings, ob­tain tem­por­ary in­junc­tions or rep­res­ent you in pro­ceed­ings be­fore the Ger­man Pat­ent and Trade­mark Of­fice (DPMA), the European Uni­on In­tel­lec­tu­al Prop­erty Of­fice (EUIPO) and be­fore Court.

But also from a pass­ive point of view, it is im­port­ant to know any trade­marks re­gistered for oth­er pro­viders and to suf­fi­ciently dif­fer­en­ti­ate one­self from them in or­der not to ex­pose one­self to in­junct­ive re­lief, in­form­a­tion and com­pens­a­tion claims.
