Why choose WÖRZ Patentanwälte?
Is your company already being represented by a patent attorney? No problem. You don’t need to give up your existing relationship with your current firm to get to know us. Start by instructing us on a trial basis for a single matter – a patent, trade mark or design application – or seek an independent second opinion ahead of an important decision.
Would you like to assign a specific case to another patent law firm, reduce your reliance on a single firm, compare costs, seek a second opinion, or simply see whether working with another firm might be a better fit? Then we are exactly the right firm for you and your business! Arrange a meeting for a no-obligation introductory chat.
We’d be happy to visit your company, introduce ourselves and discuss a specific matter or potential future collaboration with you, even for a one-off case.
Thanks to our extensive experience, built up over decades, in the field of intellectual property law for clients ranging from SMEs to large corporations in Germany, Europe and abroad, we have gained in-depth expertise in complex application procedures, securing the most comprehensive protection possible for inventions, opposition and appeal proceedings, as well as invalidity and infringement actions.
Patent attorneys for SMEs – personal, experienced and business-minded
We understand the specific requirements of SMEs from our decades of advisory practice. For SMEs, patent protection is not an end in itself. It must be tailored to the product, the competition, the relevant markets and the available budget.
That is why we work with our clients to develop a bespoke protection strategy – with the aim of protecting economically significant inventions as comprehensively as possible, whilst remaining cost-effective.
As a patent law firm deliberately structured to provide a personal service, we can tailor our approach to your specific requirements. You have direct contact with the patent attorney handling your case, who is familiar with your company, your products and your protection strategy.
Personalised support rather than anonymous case handling
With us, you know exactly who is handling your case. We place great importance on direct communication between the client, the developer and the patent attorney.
This enables us to gain an understanding not only of a single invention, but also of your products, your competitors and your company’s long-term objectives.
Understanding technology and providing comprehensive protection
A good intellectual property application begins with an understanding of the invention.
We immerse ourselves thoroughly in the technical context and discuss alternative solutions with your developers to understand the economically relevant core of a development. Based on this information, we develop a suitable, bespoke intellectual property strategy.
We are happy to support you and your company with the following:
Patent literature contains an enormous amount of technical knowledge. When developing new products, a targeted search can reveal which approaches are already known, which intellectual property rights competitors are pursuing, and where there is still scope for technical and patent-related innovation.
We research and analyse relevant intellectual property rights and applications, and present the results in such a way that your development department can use them to devise its own, legally independent solutions. Let’s discuss this. Give us a call, with no obligation.
Developers are often unaware that, in the course of ongoing development work for new products or the further development of existing products, they are making – or have already made – inventions. We engage with your development team – not just once the invention disclosure has been finalised, but right from the development phase – and discuss with you and the developers to identify potential inventions worthy of protection.
We discuss with you and the developers whether it is worthwhile to apply for intellectual property rights for these inventions and, if so, for which ones. Working closely with you, we advise you on a potential protection strategy to secure the most comprehensive and cost-effective protection for your invention(s). Let’s discuss this. Give us a call with no obligation.
A second, independent assessment can be particularly useful when it comes to economically significant decisions. We analyse the matter impartially and provide you with a clear assessment of the opportunities, risks and possible courses of action.
Are you considering filing an opposition against a competitor’s patent and wondering whether an opposition is necessary and/or likely to succeed?
Has a competitor filed an opposition against your own patent and are you considering whether it makes sense to defend your patent against the opposition?
Are you considering whether it makes sense and/or is likely to succeed to take legal action against a competitor for a possible infringement of one of your own patents?
Has a competitor sent you a cease-and-desist letter or already taken legal action against you for a possible infringement of one of their patents, and are you wondering how best to respond to the cease-and-desist letter or the legal action?
We’d be happy to look at your specific case and provide you with a well-founded and clear second opinion, which you can use to inform your final decision on how to proceed. Let’s discuss this. Give us a call, with no obligation.
You don’t have to switch patent attorneys straight away. Start by instructing us on a single new matter – for example, a patent, trade mark or design application – and compare our approach with the service you’ve received from your current patent attorney. If you subsequently wish to entrust further matters to us, we’ll organise the transition quickly, smoothly and efficiently.
Put us to the test and see the quality of our work for yourself! If you or your SME are considering engaging a second patent attorney to diversify your suppliers, we are exactly the right firm for you. Give us a try! Let us draft and file an initial patent, trade mark or design application on behalf of your company. We are confident that our goal-oriented approach, our technical and patent-related expertise, and our efficiency will win you over. We’d also be happy to visit you or your company at short notice for a no-obligation meeting, should you wish. Let’s discuss it. Give us a call with no obligation.
