Frequently Asked Questions
Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about patents, trademarks and our services. Important note on patents and trademarksEvery application is individual – technically, strategically and legally. The actual effort depends on the scope of the invention, the chosen countries and the desired protection strategy. That's why we do not work with flat rates, but develop a precise, tailor-made solution for every project. The goal is a protective right that is sustainable in the long term and precisely matches your business model.
What are patents and trademarks – and why do I need them?
Patents protect technical inventions. Trademarks protect identifiers such as names, logos or slogans. Both grant you exclusive rights and prevent competitors from taking over your innovations or your branding.
In which countries can I protect patents and trademarks?
We develop national, European and international strategies for you to secure patents and trademarks in relevant markets such as the UAE, Germany, Estonia, Europe, the USA and worldwide.
How long does a patent or trademark application process take?
Patent procedures usually take two to five years – depending on the invention and the office. Trademark applications are significantly faster: In many countries, registration takes place within a few weeks to months.
How much does it cost to file a patent or trademark application?
The costs for patents depend on the technical scope and official fees and are usually in the upper four-figure range. Trademark applications are cheaper and range – depending on countries and classes – from the three- to low four-figure range. We would be happy to provide you with a precise, individual offer.
What is the difference between a patent and a trademark?
A patent protects technical solutions. A trademark protects the origin identification of your products or services. Both serve to protect competition, but in different areas.
Do you offer advice on brand and design protection?
Yes. We advise and represent you in trademark and design applications, including research, application, registration and enforcement. The goal is a clearly structured protection system for your technical and visual assets.
