Keller & Partner Patentanwälte AG and Schneider Feldmann AG Patent- und Markenanwälte on the way to Keller Schneider Patent- & Markenanwälte AG.
In order to provide companies with even better support in protecting their Intellectual Property in the future, the two Swiss Patent Attorney firms Keller & Partner Patentanwälte AG and Schneider Feldmann AG are seeking to merge. As part of a close cooperation, they have been operating together under the name Keller Schneider Patent- und Markenanwälte since mid-September. The forthcoming merger will make Keller Schneider one of the largest firms in Switzerland.
Together with K&P Patentanwaltsgesellschaft mbH, which is part of the group, the successful firms at the Bern Office, Zurich Office, Winterthur Office, Munich Office and Mindelheim Office combine their diverse expertise and, with a total team of 19 patent and trademark attorneys, form a real force in the field of Intellectual Property. They can offer legal support for Switzerland, Germany and Europe from a single source. Keller Schneider’s approach is to advise clients from an entrepreneurial perspective with security, competence and trust and to increase their clients’ corporate values and success in the long term through the protection of Intellectual Property and optimized IP strategies.
Broad expertise helps customers succeed
Keller Schneider’s Patent Attorneys are experts in numerous fields thanks to their university degree in a scientific or technical subject and have a high level of expertise in various specialist areas. Thanks to many years of mandates, they have acquired additional specialist knowledge in various Industries such as Chemistry, Biotechnology, ICT, Electrical Engineering or Mechanical and Plant Engineering and can therefore correctly classify the problems and challenges facing their clients today and offer practice-oriented solutions.
At Keller Schneider, our experienced trademark attorneys not only conduct national and international trademark searches for their clients – for example, to determine whether there is similarity or identity – but also monitor trademarks fully electronically in selected countries.
The experienced trademark and Patent Attorneys handle patent, trademark and design applications at national offices worldwide, take care of all registration formalities and official notifications during Examination Proceedings and, if required, also represent their clients’ intellectual property before the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property (IPI), the German Patent and Trademarks Office (DPMA), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the European Patent Office (EPO) and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).
Holistic approach at the heart of the work
The merger has numerous advantages for clients, as the combined expertise in the areas of Trademarks, Designs, Licenses and Patents and the international focus mean that the respective challenges can be handled even more efficiently and effectively. Thanks to its high level of expertise, Keller Schneider provides its clients with comprehensive support and advice, both in the classic IP Rights Patents, Designs and Trademarks as well as in relation to “IP Contracts” such as License and Development Cooperation Agreements.
The aim of Keller Schneider’s work is always to provide clients not only with legal building blocks, but also with solutions for entrepreneurial tasks and special challenges. In the new formation, Keller Schneider’s lawyers are implementing this with greater clout to achieve success for their clients.
