Patent Searches

In order to estimate the feasibility of the protectability of the invention or to establish the appropriate state-of-the-art prior to the patent and utility model application, we conduct property rights searches in world-wide databases. This information can be used, for instance, in opposition and revocation proceedings against the industrial property rights of third parties.

Moreover, it is advisable to have a trademark search conducted prior to the trademark application to avoid possible objections and other charges due to prior rights held by third parties as early as possible. Additionally, we can offer you to search prior property rights or the existing state-of-the-art concerning designs (registered designs).
