Advice on patent law, trademark law, and competition law
Technological progress and demographic change are driving rapid evolution in the healthcare sector. Companies are creating new opportunities in the health sector with innovations and new products. However, this also necessitates effective protection of intellectual property against competitors and free-riders. MTR Legal Attorneys is an experienced business law firm in IP law and provides comprehensive advice on all questions of patent law, trademark law, and competition law.
We assist you with the patent registration of technical inventions and explain the requirements that must be met so that the patent can be registered with the German Patent and Trademark Office (DPMA) or the European Patent Office (EPA). Patent registration allows for effective protection against competitors. The patent holder is free to use it themselves, grant licenses, or sell it.
Equally important is registration as a trademark. Our seasoned attorneys also provide advice to companies in the healthcare sector on trademark law. We explain the requirements for trademark registration and assist you with registration at the German Patent and Trademark Office (DPMA), the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), or the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Prior to that, our attorneys check whether older trademark rights exist or if there is an absolute barrier to protection.
If patent or trademark rights are violated, our lawyers assert your interests. This also applies if there are violations of competition law.
Legal advice on starting a practice or MVZ
When establishing a company, choosing the appropriate legal form is crucial. Depending on the legal form, different requirements will apply to the company founders. Therefore, the correct choice of legal form can be an important component for economic success. In healthcare, corporate law aspects are also important when establishing a practice or a medical care center (MVZ). Our attorneys advise on the development of appropriate corporate structures or the acquisition of practices.
Of course, we also advise all other companies in the healthcare sector from start-up through corporate housekeeping to restructuring, business transactions, and cessation of the company.
Support in approval and procurement procedures
In a sensitive area such as the healthcare sector, our lawyers advise companies from the healthcare sector on structuring legally secure contracts. We represent your interests in contract drafting with national and international trading partners, advise you on structuring sales channels with commercial agents or distributors, or on research and development contracts. In addition, our lawyers support companies from the healthcare sector in procurement and approval procedures.
Structuring of cooperations and business transactions
Cooperations, as well as mergers and acquisitions, are of great importance to companies in the healthcare sector. Our lawyers have extensive experience in M&A transactions or structuring joint ventures. During this process, our lawyers advise you in all phases of the deal, uncover hidden risks, and provide counsel on all legal and tax law issues.
