IP-Services

Our clients typically originate from R&D departments of small and medium-sized enterprises, and from universities. However, we are also frequently being contacted by colleagues from foreign jurisdictions including overseas, middle east and far east (patent) law firms representing clients who are desirous of filing Swiss or Liechtenstein trademarks and/or designs or who need assistance in local trademark searches, or who need support in Swiss or European patent filings.
