Trademark, Design and
Unfair Competition Law

Trademark Law

Trademarks have a powerful meaning for the sales of your company’s goods and services.  Give this meaning the attention needed and get professional support for your trademark strategy, filings, exploitation and disputes.

Design Law

Design may have an important impact on your company’s product sales and on your company’s performance.  In several studies it has been shown that companies that invest in good design do better financially than those that do not invest in design. Have your designs protected and defended effectively.

Unfair Competition Law

Purpose of the Unfair Competition Act is to prevent unfair commercial activities, in particular in advertising. This serves mainly consumer protection and as a reflex also prevents that companies which do not comply with the Unfair Competition Act gain advantages over companies which comply with the Unfair Competition Act.
