We specialize in the legal protection of companies and their breeding / propagation material using intellectual property rights, in particular trademark law and plant breeder's rights.

At the same time, we have seen for decades that there is a growing influence of scientific and technical processes on the traditional breeding and cultivation of seeds and crops. Think of biotechnology, gene technology or tissue culture.

As a result, there is an increasing international appeal for patent law to protect natural products. In America, for example, it is increasingly common for large companies to obtain patent protection (plant patent) on a refined crop instead of a plant breeder's right (plant patent) because of the technical elements in their 'invention'.

As a result of these developments and based on our knowledge of patent law, we have also come into contact with relations from the pharmaceutical sector in recent years.
