  • Uncomplicated change of law firm to BRP RENAUD
What distinguishes BRP RENAUD from traditional patent law firms?

Our advice does not end with intellectual property rights. Thanks to the close cooperation with the specialized attorneys at law within our firm, we develop holistic protection strategies that integrate smoothly into your business processes. We take an interdisciplinary approach to intellectual property rights - and, if necessary, integrate contract, antitrust and corporate law right from the start.

How does the consulting process work - and how much prior knowledge is expected?

To begin with, we work with you to gain a clear overview of your initial situation and objectives. Based on this, we analyze existing property rights and develop an individual strategy - from patent applications and international property right portfolios to defending existing rights. In the further course of the process, we accompany the formal application as well as the examination procedure and also provide advice after the patent has been granted.

We incorporate existing specialist knowledge in a targeted manner. However, extensive prior knowledge of patent law is not a prerequisite. We meet our clients exactly where they are - whether they have extensive experience or no knowledge of patent law.

What support does BRP RENAUD offer worldwide?

BRP RENAUD provides you with comprehensive support in filing IP applications both in Germany and abroad - whether before the German Patent and Trademark Office, the European Patent Office or national patent offices abroad.

Our law firm is a member of the international pool of attorneys INTERLAW, a network of over 80 law firms with more than 8,000 attorneys in over 140 countries. The patent experts at BRP RENAUD thus ensure access to local expertise and trusted partner law firms worldwide.

In addition to traditional filing and defense, BRP RENAUD advises you on suitable international protection strategies, availability searches and the management of your IP portfolio, even across national borders.

How can the cost of a patent be sensibly controlled?

The costs of a patent can be significantly influenced by forward-looking planning and clear priorities.

The choice of registration strategy is particularly important:

A national patent application can be filed first in order to check the prospects of success at low official costs. A decision can then be made on a European or international extension. In this way, investments can be staggered and distributed.

In addition, a precise and well thought-out drafting of the patent application also helps to avoid subsequent amendments and additional fees.

Through close coordination with our experienced patent experts, the cost process can be organized efficiently, ensuring both the quality of the property right and cost control.

How does a change of law firm to BRP RENAUD work?

Switching to the Patent Experts at BRP RENAUD is uncomplicated and possible at any time. After making initial contact, we will jointly agree on the desired scope of support from our patent experts. We then take over the complete organization of the change: We obtain the necessary documents from your previous law firm or representative and ensure a smooth transfer of the property right files.

For you, this means: minimum effort with maximum security. All deadlines, ongoing proceedings and existing property rights are seamlessly taken over and continued by us. So you can be sure that your IP rights will be managed without interruption and without risk - while you benefit from BRP RENAUD's expertise and structures right from the start.
