Advice on trademarks and other distinctive signs
What I do for you
Customers often associate certain quality standards and expectations with brands. This makes it all the more important to differentiate a branded product from products made by other manufacturers and to develop a well-thought-out trademark strategy. I can help you develop your brand strategy and register, manage and defend your trademark.
In addition, I advise you on other distinctive signs besides trademarks, such as company names and work titles, as well as other intellectual property rights, e.g. designs.
