Comprehensive Protection for Your Brand and Technology
We offer a full suite of services to secure your intellectual property rights in Switzerland.
Trademark Registration
We manage the entire process of registering your company name, logo, or slogan as a trademark with the IPI. This gives you the exclusive legal right to use your brand for specific goods and services, protecting you against infringement.
Patent Application Support
For new inventions, we assist in preparing and filing your Swiss patent application. A patent grants you a monopoly on your invention for up to 20 years, preventing others from making, using, or selling it without your permission.
IP Search & Availability
Before filing, we can conduct a thorough search of the Swiss trademark and patent registers to ensure your desired name or invention is available and not conflicting with existing rights.
