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
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.
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.
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.
Stronger together
Never alone in a dispute
In court proceedings we work together with a lawyer specialised in IP law. We assess validity, interpretation and the extent of the infringement; together we determine your strongest position.
