Lawyers for trademark law

Trademarks are crucial factors in a company’s value and competitive position. Our trade-mark lawyers manage some of the biggest German trademark portfolios and advise companies on registering, defending and commercialising their intellectual property rights. To do this, they use state-of-the-art software that is tailored to the client’s needs.

The goal of the CMS trademark lawyers is to protect trademark rights as effectively as possible within the constraints of the available budget; they will always take financial aspects into account in addition to legal factors. 

The expertise of our trademark specialists ranges from matters relating to clearance, domain disputes and border seizure cases to licensing contract law, including cross-border cases. Our experts also represent their clients’ interests before trademark offices, in arbitration proceedings and mediation and in court.
