Enforcement & defence

L 10 12 14 16 18 FIG. 1

Taking action or defending

As the holder of a patent, trade mark or design, you have to monitor possible infringement by third parties yourself. We guide you, whether you want to take action against counterfeiting or have to defend yourself against an accusation.

Two aspects

01 · Against counterfeiting

Taking action

A third party infringes your right or copies your product.

  • Step 01Assessing

    We examine the validity, the interpretation and the extent of the infringement.

  • Step 02Notifying

    We give the infringer a substantiated formal notice, correctly and at the right moment.

  • Step 03Legal proceedings

    If that is not enough, we take further legal steps, together with an IP lawyer.

02 · Facing an accusation

Defending

You are the one being accused of infringement.

  • Step 01Rapid analysis

    We assess the allegation and your position immediately and clearly.

  • Step 02Building a defence

    We build a substantiated defence, tailored to your file.

  • Step 03Challenging validity

    Where possible, we contest the other party's right through invalidity proceedings.

Important to know

Be careful about directly confronting an alleged infringer. Have the matter reviewed first: we advise you on which steps are sensible and safe, always in consultation with a specialised IP lawyer.
