We are at home in the world of production lines, supply chains and manufacturing processes and their specific requirements for legal support. Because of the combination with intellectual property, we know what you need to think about as a manufacturing company to secure your unique position.
We have an extensive track record in assisting companies within diverse industries such as consumer products (from all kinds of products such as stoves, shoes, tents to beer and soft drinks), medical devices, chip industry, additive manufacturing, robotics, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering. We are familiar with industry-specific regulations and speak the language of entrepreneurs in these sectors.
Consulting
Our in-depth knowledge of IP law enables us to (strategically) advise manufacturing companies in protecting their ideas, designs and product design, for example through patent patents, trademarks, designs and copyrights. As more and more products are equipped with IT components and are connected, the combination with knowledge of software, AI, Internet of Things and other technological elements is indispensable.
Compliance
With increasing regulations, for example around AI, the AVG and product safety, compliance is increasingly important. We guide clients to ensure that they do not get into trouble and help them as soon as something has gone wrong. This includes recall actions and discussions with the NVWA (Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority).
Commercial contracts
Our lawyers are experienced in drafting and reviewing manufacturing contracts, purchase agreements, distribution agreements and OEM agreements. We are known for clear communication and securing interests in balanced agreements that minimize risk.
Disputes
When disputes arise, we act decisively to defend the interests of our clients in the manufacturing industry. Our team has an impressive track record of litigation involving infringement of intellectual property rights and violation of trade secrets.
Presentations/Training
The dynamics of the manufacturing industry require constant legal acuity. We therefore provide training and presentations specifically tailored to the challenges within this industry.
