PEOPLE CREATE PROGRESS

Neue Ideen brauchen Kraft und Durchhaltevermögen, um sich durchzusetzen. Manchmal auch Zeit, um zu dem zu reifen, das später unser Leben interessanter, leichter, besser macht. Ja und manchmal verschwinden sie auch einfach irgendwo im Nirgendwo. Wir arbeiten dafür, dass neue Ideen Wirklichkeit werden.

Patents protect the owner from imitators. But patents granted without thorough examination also hinder competition unjustifiably. Once they have been granted, they prevent anyone else from offering the – possibly wrongly protected – product. Therefore, every entrepreneur who feels threatened by such a flood of patents should look for information that can eliminate such patents again. One way to do this is through fact-scouting by a German start-up.

After more than twenty years of activity in the field of industrial property protection, I am increasingly concerned about a situation which, in my view, is increasingly jeopardizing the successful and, in principle, reasonable patent system.
