Lawyers for design law

Design adds value to products and makes them distinctive. Our design lawyers stand ready to vigorously defend your design against any imitators, thereby safeguarding a key pillar of your business success. 

The range of services provided by our specialist lawyers covers the entire spectrum of design law. They advise industrial companies, designers, creative professionals, agencies and other clients on crafting a property rights strategy, filing and registering designs, as well as managing portfolios.

Our design lawyers also assist companies in contract negotiations, delimitation agreements and border seizure cases. They are additionally available for enforcing design rights both in and out of court. They represent the interests of their clients before the competent official bodies and courts, and can provide support for infringement, nullity and injunction proceedings within Germany and beyond.

The focus throughout is always on enterprise value and commercial requirements. Our design law specialists establish the specific need for protection, weighing up the costs and benefits as well as the risks and opportunities.
