OUR PRACTICE

In close collaboration with our clients we develop concepts for the legal protection of intellectual property on national and international markets. Apart from search activities and the examination of the protectability of new patents, this also includes trademarks, designs, company names and domains, the evaluation and, as an option, the optimization and reorganization of already-existing protective rights portfolios.

Our experts will give you advice on both defense concepts in national and international dispute cases and the marketing of your protective rights.

We will support you with recommendations regarding all kinds of licensing and transfer of protective rights as they may occur in connection with license agreements, company purchases, and company mergers and technology transfers.

One focus of our work has been to offer support to clients from the Asian region for more than twenty years. Japanese, Chinese and Korean patent experts maintain a lively professional exchange with KASTEL Patentanwälte.

Our patent attorneys and paralegals have intercultural expertise and continuously participate in training and education activities, which ensure the high professional level and the knowledge and interpretation of the current jurisprudence.

PATENT LAW
Patents shall be granted for any inventions, in all fields of technology, provided that they are new, involve an inventive step, and are adaptable to industrial application. We accompany you from the beginning of the patent application or utility model registration processes, through the examination process for patents or registration process for utility models, and finally to the enforcement of your protective rights or defense against third-party right enforcement.

TRADEMARK LAW
We assist you in examining the availability of trademarks, applying for a registered trademark, enforcing your trademark rights or business name, as well as defending against third-party rights.

DESIGN LAW
Designs are protected by registering with the patent authorities. We support you in applying and enforcing your design rights and, furthermore, in defending against third-party rights.
