IP & Technology

In a world in which competitiveness is increasingly judged on knowledge, efficient processes and the rational use of technical solutions, businesses cannot afford to neglect safeguarding and optimizing their intangible assets and the use of modern IT solutions over the long term. The IP & Technology team provides a comprehensive portfolio of services both in the area of specific development projects (legal assistance, strategic and contractual advice) and through a “legal help-desk” solution (for minor legal advice and day-to-day operations).
