Our expertise,
in service
of your idea
Be it patents, utility models, trademarks or designs – we protect your idea and defend your rights, in Austria and throughout the world.
Strategy. Protection. Enforcement.
We support you throughout the entire lifecycle of your intellectual property – from the initial idea through filing to the defence and enforcement of your rights. Whether technical IP rights, trademarks or designs: our strategies are aligned with your business goals.
How we work with you
Four convictions that guide every mandate we take on – from the first consultation to international enforcement.
More than IP.
We don't just think in terms of IP rights – we make your interests our own. What is best for your business? That is the question that drives us.
In dialogue.
We develop solutions through conversation, not in isolation. Your goals, your market, your business model – only once we understand these does the right strategy emerge.
Personally connected.
Trust is the foundation of our work. We cultivate our relationships – personally, respectfully, and for the long term. That is our greatest asset.
Fully committed.
We do our work out of conviction – and we genuinely love it. We embrace challenges, think ahead, and never lose our enthusiasm for what we do.
