Services
Product protection from every angle
At YAK–IP, product protection is the focus. The boundaries between technical IP rights such as patents and utility models and non-technical ones such as trade marks and designs are often fluid. We also look at the area where technical and design features overlap – and take a holistic approach to finding the right protection for you.
Strong trade marks
So that your customers not only value your products but keep finding their way back to you.
Protected design
A product’s success can also lie in its appearance. You protect it with registered designs.
Sound decisions
Whether validity or freedom to operate: robust opinions are the basis of good decisions.
Opposition, nullity and enforcement
Attacking third-party IP rights, defending and enforcing your own – before the offices and courts, including the Unified Patent Court.
Innovation harvesting and workshops
Tracking down developments worth protecting on site at your company – and enabling your team in workshops to recognise inventions themselves.
IP strategy
Together with you, I develop an IP portfolio that fits your corporate strategy.
Employee inventions
