A pro-active, cross-border IP strategy is essential to protect intellectual property and business secrets in today’s globalized and digitalized economy. At the same time, large-scale networking increases the risk of (cross-border) infringements of third party's property rights. DORDA advises and guides businesses, artists and cultural institutions through the jungle of various IP rights, from trademarks and patents and protection for utility models, works and image rights through to copyright. Representing businesses in legal issues connected to copyright levies is another key skills of our team. Clients appreciate our simple, concise explanations of complex situations and our clear risk assessments and recommendations. This is emphasised by our publication “IP in Practice” written by Axel Anderl and his team (published by Manz Verlag).
Both prestigious firms and start-ups rely on DORDA in all areas of intellectual property law and enjoy the benefit of our know-how in their business transactions.
