Intellectual Property

Entrepreneurs almost inevitably come in contact with competition rules - for example, in the process of naming products or when a company is presented to the public. It is of great importance that no competition rules are infringed - for a violation can have serious financial consequences. At the same time, companies need to enforce their rights against competitors. Klier & Ott assists in the examination, defense and enforcement of all antitrust claims.

We also provide comprehensive support in the field of trademark and copyright. For entrepreneurs a strong brand is as important as the quality of their products. At the German Patent and Trademark Office in Munich  about 70,000 new trademarks are registered every year. Trademarks can apply - and be infringed upon - at both the national and international level. Klier & Ott supports its clients in building their brand while also  protecting the "good name" of the product. We enforce penalty clause declarations by official reprimands and realize our clients’ claims in court, when necessary.

Because of the Internet, copyright has become a very complex subject in recent years. Meanwhile artists, musicians, writers and other authors can often only stop the abuse of their works through the legal system. We ensure our clients that their intellectual property and their rights in this field are respected.
