ZELLER & SEYFERT specializes – inter alia – in enforcing the intellectual property rights of companies and entrepreneurs in Germany, the EU, and international IP proceedings. Our attorneys will represent your company out of court, e.g. by sending out warning letters and requesting a signed cease and desist declaration from the infringer. Our IP lawyer will also represent your business before all German and EU courts. Likewise, our attorneys will represent your company in administrative procedures, e.g. before the German Patent and Trademark Office (DPMA), the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
Intellectual property rights are in particular:
- Trademarks
- Patents
- Utility Models
- Designs
- Plant variety rights
Furthermore, ZELLER & SEYFERT also will assist your company with enforcing its rights in other signs and symbols, such as naming rights of an entrepreneur or artist, the right to the legal business name of your company, or the right to the domain name for your company’s website.
Our attorneys will also help your company to intercept counterfeited products from abroad, which infringe on the intellectual property of your company, and stop these pirated products at the German border with the assistance of the German customs authorities. Our attorneys will then also seek to have these counterfeited goods destroyed right at the German border (fight against product piracy). To protect the intellectual property of your company, our attorneys will start border seizure procedures with the German customs authorities.
