At the core of our work is the understanding that every line, curve, pixel and product is an expression of someone's vision. We help protect our clients' creations and support designers and clients in commercializing their creations.
Consulting
Our consulting within the creative and design industry is deeply rooted in a thorough understanding of intellectual property law. We help designers, artists and companies protect their creative works and design rights. With expertise in IT law, we also ensure that their digital creations and online presence stand firm in a world of technological change. Our approach includes advising on copyright, design registrations, trademark rights and domain name disputes, with a special focus on privacy laws and the protection of personal data.
Commercial contracts
The contracts we draft and review for the creation and design industry focus on licensing agreements, collaboration contracts and the protection of intellectual property rights. This is often a mix of copyright and design rights for the external product design and patent for technical-functional aspects of a product design. We ensure that the commercial deals not only support the creative vision, but also maximize the commercial value of the intellectual property and mitigate the risks.
Disputes
Within the creation and design industry, disputes often want to arise as to whether a particular product is original or protected. Whether the issue is copyright infringement, design rights or protection of the technical-functional elements, we take a proactive and strategic approach to safeguarding our clients' rights.
Location
Location doesn't say everything, but in this case it says a lot about the breeding ground for our lawyers. Eindhoven is known as a design city with annual events such as Dutch Design Week and Glow. Our office is located in one of the most creative parts of Eindhoven, namely at Strijp-T, an area bustling with innovation and creativity. Not for nothing is the slogan of Strijp-T: 'make, create, innovate'.
