Our design team provides expert support in design prosecution, enforcement, licensing and strategic planning, extending our reach across Switzerland, Europe, and worldwide.
We advise with a view on design disputes. We prepare and select figures and drawings that are enforceable before courts, capturing the distinctive visual elements that make each design unique. For this purpose, our attorneys-at-law work closely with designers and drawers to prepare applications that effectively protect our clients’ designs.
In the realm of design litigation, we have been directly involved in some of the few cases that reach courts. We understand the nuances of protecting and defending design rights and offer seasoned counsel for both national and cross-border litigation.
