Intellectual Property (IP or IP) increasingly determines the value of companies. Having a strong IP porfolio is crucial for startups and small businesses to attract investment opportunities. And enterprises often have more to offer than they think. We help map the IP and identify risks and opportunities. Attention to the IP portfolio strengthens the position in collaborations, helps to generate revenues and reduce risks. preparing a sales process. Moreover, it reduces certain risks.
We have extensive experience in litigation on IP, advertising, media statements and all forms of unfair competition. We advise strategically, both on the claimant and defendant side, on options such as (evidence) seizure and summary proceedings, or, conversely, help avoid litigation.
We also advise and assist your company from the very first contact, and in further proceedings or procedures with judicial commissions or regulators such as the Advertising Code Committee, the Media Authority, the Consumer and Market Authority or the Press Council.
We advise on structures for cooperation and projects, where IP is properly accommodated so that there is sufficient guarantee for the results of a project (IP), even in the event of an exit, devolution or departure of key people. We also have extensive experience in designing and drafting (internal) IP policies for innovative and creative companies.

Forget land, buildings, or machines-the real source of wealth today is intelligence, applied intelligence. We talk glibly of “intellectual property” without taking on board what it really means. It isn't just patent rights and brand names; it is the brains of the place. - Charles Handy.
