(including trademark registration in Switzerland and internationally)
Intellectual property law governs the creation, protection and exploitation of works of the mind and distinctive signs. Its purpose is to protect creators, businesses and rights holders against any unauthorised use of their innovations, artistic creations, trademarks or other intangible assets.
This field includes in particular trademark law, which protects distinctive signs for products and services; copyright law, applicable to literary, artistic, musical, audiovisual and digital works; design law, which protects the shape and appearance of products; as well as domain names and other elements linked to digital identity.
Our firm advises and represents clients in the protection, management and enforcement of their intellectual property rights in Switzerland and internationally. We act at every stage, from defining an appropriate protection strategy to enforcing rights in the event of a dispute, including the filing, renewal and monitoring of trademarks, designs and domain names.
We also advise businesses, creators and rights holders on the valorisation of their intangible assets, in particular through the drafting and negotiation of licence, assignment and collaboration agreements, as well as in opposition proceedings and intellectual property litigation.
The added value of our specialised lawyers lies in a pragmatic and strategic approach aimed at securing rights, anticipating risks and enhancing the economic value of protected assets. We regularly represent clients before the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property (IPI) and the competent courts, and also act in domain name disputes, in particular in cases of cybersquatting, as well as in copyright matters relating to musical, audiovisual and software works.
