About CMS

Select your region

Design enhances products and gives them "a face in the crowd". As a foundation of your entrepreneurial success, your design needs defence against possible imitators.

Our legal experts offer a comprehensive package of services. For example, we advise industrial companies, designers, creative professionals and agencies on the acquisition, enforcement and exploitation of designs - whether national or international.

Our attorneys competently accompany you through the entire process of acquiring IP rights - from developing your specific IP strategy to filing and registering your designs to managing and maintaining your portfolio. We will also assist you in enforcing your design rights in and out of court. We represent you before administrative bodies and arbitration courts, in infringement proceedings, nullity proceedings and injunction proceedings.
