We utilize a fully digitalized back-office and several AI Co-Pilots to deliver legal services to our clients efficiently, typically with fixed-price offers. For industrial IP departments: Our inhouse clients often have the need to do more (patent applications) with less (budget). Our team uses attorney-supervised, AI-facilitated workflows for drafting and prosecution of patent applications. We match our services to how valuable individual inventions are rated by the inhouse IP departments: - Collaborative Drafting for high-value inventions (an inhouse IP Counsel provides claims and figure sketches, we complete the draft) - Efficient AI-Facilitated Drafting for mid-value inventions - Economy First Filings or Defensive Publications for lower-value inventions For mid-sized companies: With the IP collaboration platform FLUID, clients can manage their IP cases and all their law firms in one central software tool with full cost-control and overview on the current status of each case. For startups / individuals: We provide clear legal advice on IP filing strategies including Patents, Trademarks and Designs, involving costs and to-be-expected timelines of the official procedures. To align on these aspects, we offer an initial cost-free consultation via Video-Call.
