Patent strategy – experience and expertise from a single source

Compare different international strategies

We independently and technology-specifically analyze various filing strategies for patents and related rights, including those of potential competitors. To this end, we offer both standardized processes and the integration of the latest software tools, which transparently map the development and comparison of various international filing scenarios and their costs over the patent life cycle.

Develop your filing strategy based on different perspectives

The scope, level of detail and price of a strategy consultation vary depending on your needs. We would be happy to provide you with a specific offer that meets your individual requirements. In particular, we also offer the option of a compact and therefore affordable strategy consultation.

Thanks to our experience, systematic and standardised approach and intelligent tool support, we can produce compact analyses in a timely manner.
