Our\u00a0team of patent attorneys, European Patent Attorneys, trainee patent attorneys, case workers and clerks attends to our clients\u2019 matters every single day.<\/p>\n

Our\u00a0patent attorneys<\/a>\u00a0have experience in a wide range of engineering fields and represent our clients before national and international\u00a0offices, courts and organisations<\/a>. Moreover, with their work as court-sworn experts for the patent system, as expert lay judges at Linz Labour and Social Court, Vienna Higher Regional Court, Vienna Commercial Court and the Supreme Court, and in various functions in professional associations and institutions they also have an insight into legislation and jurisdiction at the national and international level.<\/p>\n

Over the years our firm has also been able to establish a\u00a0network of contacts<\/a>\u00a0with foreign colleagues, so that we can guarantee professional support for our clients virtually all over the world.
\nOur clients are international and national companies of every size. We represent both small and medium-sized enterprises and major corporations, and we are also pleased to have private individual inventors among our clients. We are proud to offer every single one of our clients personal support, and we are pleased that almost all of our clients reward our work with years of loyalty.<\/p>\n

Our strength lies in the all-round support for our clients, starting with\u00a0consulting<\/a>\u00a0in the area of\u00a0research and development<\/a>, comprising the drafting and filing<\/a> of patent, utility model, trademark and design applications, as well as the subsequent conduct of proceedings<\/a> before the competent offices, right through to the granting and registration of property rights and their assertion against third parties<\/a>. The early involvement in research and development matters helps to avoid double inventions and to identify the risk of an infringement of existing property rights at an early stage. At the same time, further potential of the invention is to be identified and an individual and comprehensive protection strategy<\/a> developed and implemented in collaboration with our clients
\n. Our goal is to be on hand with advice in all issues of industrial property rights<\/a> for our clients in every phase, and in the end to hand over a product (namely the respective property right) that will lend our clients an edge over their competitors.<\/p>\n

For this purpose, we can offer our clients\u00a0personal appointments\u00a0at each of our offices in\u00a0Vienna<\/a>,\u00a0Linz<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Salzburg<\/a>, but we are also happy to support our innovative clients directly on site<\/a>\u00a0when required.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”locations”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”130px”][cms_heading hd_subtitle=”WELL LOCATED” hd_title=”LOCATIONS” title_color=”#196baa” cms_template=”cms_heading.php”][vc_column_text]Since its foundation in the year 1937, our firm has had its\u00a0head office<\/a>\u00a0in the first district of Austria\u2019s capital, first in Singerstra\u00dfe and since 2019 in Gonzagagasse 15. The proximity to the\u00a0Austrian Patent Office<\/a>, Vienna Commercial Court<\/a>, which is the venue for patent infringement proceedings, the courts of second and third instance as the forum for appeal proceedings (Vienna Higher Regional Court<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0the Supreme Court<\/a>) makes Vienna an ideal location for a patent attorney firm. With the good connections to Vienna Airport, the sub-offices of the\u00a0European Patent Office\u00a0in Munich, Berlin and Den Haag as well as its\u00a0Boards of Appeal<\/a>\u00a0are also easy to reach in the case of oral proceedings.<\/p>\n

In the year 2007, a further office was opened in\u00a0Linz<\/a>, making it easier for our clients in Upper Austria and Upper Styria to reach us
\n. The office in Linz is located at the address Am Winterhafen 11 and is managed mainly by patent attorney Pfandler.<\/p>\n

Our firm also has an office in \u00a0Salzburg<\/a>\u00a0at the address B\u00fcrglsteinstrasse 4\/3 since 2011, which is managed mainly by patent attorney Henhapel. The Salzburg office makes it considerably easier in particular for our clients from the west of Austria to reach us.<\/p>\n
