Patent Litigation

Individual inventors protect their innovative products and methods from unwanted plagiarism by means of patents and other technical trademark rights. Patentees are able to commercialize their innovations themselves and can secure an exclusive position in the market. At the same time, patent protection supports companies in global competition. The patent portfolio is part of the company value and provides information on a company's or an individual inventor's innovative power. Moreover, patents play a key role in the transfer of technologies. The real value of the technical protection rights shows only after their implementation. Therefore, it is important to effectively proceed against violators and successfully ward off violation claims.
