General industrial property rights - protection, use and valuation of rights

General industrial property protection comprises property rights and legal instruments that go beyond patents, trademarks and designs. It secures economic values, regulates rights of use and creates a basis for strategic decision-making. Our patent attorneys provide you with comprehensive and practical advice.

Plant variety protection - protection for plant innovations

Plant variety protection is an exclusive right comparable to a patent and serves to safeguard breeding achievements. The specific plant variety is protected if it is new, distinct, homogeneous and stable and bears a registrable variety denomination.

Applications are filed with the Federal Plant Variety Office in Hanover. We represent you throughout the entire plant variety protection procedure and support you in ensuring that your breeding work is legally secure.

Licenses - using property rights economically

Industrial property rights grant their owner the exclusive right of use. These rights can be transferred in whole or in part to third parties by means of license agreements. The type and scope of use can be flexibly structured – for example in terms of time, space or content.

We advise you on the drafting, review and negotiation of license agreements – both for simple and exclusive licenses – and help you to exploit commercial opportunities and minimize legal risks.

Expert opinion - creating legal clarity

Expert opinions play a central role in industrial property protection. They are used to assess infringements of property rights, analyze risks and make strategic decisions.

Whether for evaluating your own property rights or assessing possible conflicts with third-party rights – we prepare sound expert opinions as a reliable basis for your further action.
