Lawyers for in-court and out-of-court representation in intellectual property matters

The CMS lawyers for representation in intellectual property matters help you to enforce or defend your IP rights both in court and out of court. They are able to represent you before all types of courts, including at European level. 

In disputes with an international dimension, they coordinate all legal action and bring in partner firms within the CMS organisation as well as selected foreign attorneys. Our experts also conduct arbitration proceedings and represent their clients in mediation cases.

Our IP lawyers for in-court and out-of-court representation are able to obtain temporary injunctions at short notice through any German court – sometimes within 24 hours, depending on the individual circumstances. Their experience also extends to border seizure procedures, e.g. at ports and airports. They can thus take steps to prevent infringing products from entering the country.

Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have any questions or need a non-binding assessment with regard to representation in or out of court. The contact details of all our lawyers who specialise in in-court and out-of-court representation in intellectual property matters are listed below.
