Call +41 71 230 1000 to speak to a Patent or Trademark Practitioner or email us

We can file patent, trademark, and design applications for you in the US, Europe and Switzerland, and, through our network of associates around the world, in any other country.

We can prepare and file patent, trademark and design applications for you throughout the world. Where you have identified infringement of your rights, we can manage the investigation, ensure your rights protect against the infringement, send cease and desist letters, and work with local counsel to file ceasure orders or infringement suits. We can also help you negotiate a settlement with potential infringers. Most importantly, we can help you develop a product packaging strategy to make enforcement easier and less expensive, as well as an enforcement strategy that should yield the best results for you. Further, there are certain circumstances in which you don't need a design registration to be able to enforce your rights in Europe. Therefore, it may be possible to react against infringers right away, without having to wait for a registration.

We would suggest an engagement letter agreement with your company, send you a power of attorney for signature, and work with you to understand what your problem is. Once we understand the breadth of your problem, and so understand the time and costs that might be incurred in solving your problem, we will send you an advance invoice, asking that you pay this prior to our taking action on your behalf.

We are specialists in US Patent, Trademark, and Copyright registrations, including licensing, infringement, invalidity, and enforceability patent opinions involving US patents; European Patent and Trademark applications; in the fields of manufacturing processes, sporting goods, medical devices, software, methods, computer systems, electro-mechanical, electronics, micro-technology, and patent filing strategy.

Filing a US provisional patent can cost as little as 500 Euros (700 USD), to several thousand. If you already have the text, in any language, professionally prepared by a patent attorney or experienced writer of technical disclosures, then it can cost 500 Euros, to file to reserve your rights in what was adequately described in the application.
