What is the best way to protect my idea?
Results from research and development are intellectual property and should be protected by intellectual property rights. We advise* you on all protection options and the appropriate IP strategy for your technologies or other intellectual property.
As part of our IP Consulting, we provide assessments of all intellectual property (IP) protection options:
• Patent: protection for technical inventions
• Copyright protection and protection of trade secrets and know-how
• Registered design: protection for two/three-dimensional appearance
• Trade mark: unique selling point for products and services
• Protection options for software (checking third-party rights in the open source area, assignment of rights)
