IP / IT

Innovations are among the decisive motors for growth and business success. But how can you protect and use innovations in the long term? And do so in an environment of increasing competition, globalisation and rapid technological development? Pirate copies and forgeries cause substantial economic damage worldwide. Data protection and data security are increasingly coming under the spotlight of the supervisory authorities and harbour considerable liability risk. The protection and defence of intellectual property (IP) and the safe organisation of information technologies (IT) have become a vital part of companies' risk management. The IP/IT team of Schindhelm offers you the full bandwidth of consulting services with regard to IP and IT law. We deal with the protection and usage of your rights and technologies and their defence in court. So that your innovations are safe.

We advise you on the registration and defence of your intellectual property rights and thus ensure your company's growth. Our activities are not restricted to the enforcement under civil law of rights with temporary injunctions and petition proceedings. We also work with the criminal prosecution proceedings and the customs authorities in order to combat breaches of the law effectively. Has a competitor filed legal action against you for forbearance? We advise and represent you in connection with claims that third parties file against you.

In IT law, we formulate legally sound software development and licence agreements and advise you on all issues relating to the Internet, domains, e-commerce and data protection
