Disputes over industrial design and copying products.

Dispute Resolution

We offer our clients comprehensive legal services in cases involving industrial design and the copying of other people’s products (combating counterfeiting).

Disputes over industrial design and copying products

We advise our clients on how to quickly and effectively block sales and withdraw counterfeit original products from all distribution channels. In cooperation with customs authorities, we monitor imports and ensure the customs detention of counterfeit products. We monitor the market for the introduction of counterfeit original products of our clients. Based on this information, we initiate the appropriate customs or legal proceedings. We secure evidence of product imitation through controlled purchases and by securing and monitoring websites offering counterfeit products. We remove products that illegally imitate the customer’s design in consultation with the intellectual property departments of Allegro, Ebay, Amazon and other marketplaces. We take legal action to obtain the temporary removal of counterfeit products from the market. We participate in bailiff enforcement if it is necessary to seize counterfeit products from the infringer’s warehouse. We take a comprehensive approach through pre-trial communication, negotiations, appearances before common courts, patent offices and law enforcement agencies to achieve optimal results in a short time. We help to effectively claim compensation for product imitation and parasitism.
