Trademark law – industrial property rights
commercial agency law
Your company creates value – we protect this value for you.
Your unique brand, your unique design, or your intellectual creation are the result of hard work and considerable effort – and at the same time a decisive competitive advantage. These assets deserve the best possible legal protection to prevent imitation and secure your efforts and investments.
We support you with comprehensive assistance in the areas of
- industrial property rights such as trademark rights, design protection (excluding patent law –> we have a permanent recommendation for you or your company in this area)
- fair trading law and the UWG (Federal Act Against Unfair Competition)
- copyright law
We understand the challenges of your market and act as an outsourced legal department for you and your company.
Our services are – at a glance:
- trademark applications (national & international) – we take care of researching and registering your trademark in Austria and worldwide
- protection strategies – we develop individual concepts to protect trademarks, designs, and technical innovations (exclusive patents) against imitation in the long term
- defense against imitation, among other things – in the event of infringements of your rights, we respond consistently with measures ranging from warnings to legal action (opposition proceedings, nullity proceedings, and cancellation proceedings for trademarks, as well as a range of claims such as injunctions, removal, damages, or publication in cases of unfair competition)
The advantage for you is that with our law firm, you gain the security of knowing that your innovative strength is legally protected – allowing you to concentrate fully on your core business.
We also represent commercial agents and companies as principals – commercial agency law regulates the rights and obligations of commercial agents and sub-agents, their principals, and other parties involved, particularly regarding remuneration, commission, access to books, and the often contentious claim for compensation after termination of the commercial agency agreement. Notice periods, the division of markets and territories within a federal state, and non-competition clauses for similar products during and after the termination of the commercial agency agreement can also be contentious.
