Intellectual Property

VISCHER's Intellectual Property group is renowned for its longstanding practice and excellent track record in every field of intellectual property (patent law, copyright law, trademark and design law), including related areas such as unfair competition, data law, and advertisement law. 

Our IP experts can help you in IP litigation (before the Swiss Federal Supreme Court, the Federal Patent Court, the Federal Administrative Court and cantonal courts across Switzerland) as well as in IP-related international arbitration.

In addition, we can advise you on complex commercial transactions such as licensing, R&D co-operations, technology transfer, franchising, joint ventures and IP due diligence in M&A matters. 

Our Intellectual Property group includes a Trademark Administration team providing services as trademark agents for Swiss and international trademark registrations. 

The team covers the whole range of trademark-related services such as preliminary trademark searches and advice on ability of trademark registrations, draft and submission of trademark applications, renewals, submissions to overcome official refusals and third party oppositions, monitoring and collision management, enforcement and protection of your trademarks before trademark authorities and courts, contractual documents for trademark assignments and licenses.
