AREAS OF EXPERTISE OUR CLIENTS |
Innovative companies have a competitive advantage through their own creativity. We apply this concept to our legal services. A result of this approach was, that we have been awarded as Law Firm of the Year in the field of patent law in 2009 (JUVE AWARDS). Intensified competition, growing international interrelations and the increasingly complex technical development have given intellectual property a vital importance for entrepreneurial success, especially for securing competitiveness and also in terms of generating its own added value. In addition to securing a market-position for established enterprises the development and expansion of a reliable patent-portfolio has become a basic condition for the future-orientated attitude This development makes an internationally oriented, comprehensive legal advice necessary that provides the basis for entrepreneurial decisions and takes national, European and international laws and jurisdiction into account. The partnership KÖNIG SZNYKA TILMANN von RENESSE with its partners Carla Roth, Reimar König, Gregor König, Dirk Szynka, Dorothea von Renesse, Max W. Tilmann is built on more than 75 years of experience in legal counselling. Today our partnership is represented in the centres of interest in European patent law, Düsseldorf and Munich.
