DR KREUZER RECHTSANWÄLTE will advise you on patent law issues at any time at our offices in Nuremberg and Dresden.

Legal relevance of patent and patent law

Patent law comprises standards designed to protect intellectual property against imitation. In addition to utility models, designs and trade marks, patents are another important industrial property right. The legal basis is the Patent Law (PatG), whose provisions are also implemented at European level in the European Patent Convention (EPC).

The so-called patent protects the invention, i.e. the solution of a technical problem by technical means. The subject matter can be a process or a product. The invention as such already confers on its inventor the so-called inventor's right, which does not have to be applied for. However, patent protection requires an application for the invention at the German Trade Mark and Patent Office (DPMA).

Range of advice in patent law

The attorneys-at-law and specialised attorneys of DR KREUZER RECHTSANWÄLTE advise and assist you in the areas of

• Registration of the invention with the German Patent and Trade Mark Office (DPMA)

• warnings due to patent infringements

International patent law

DR KREUZER RECHTSANWÄLTE advise you as intellectual authors, programmers, artists, publicists, holders of ancillary copyrights , owners of image rights (copyright), among others, at our offices in Nuremberg and Dresden on the realisation of your copyrights (copyright contract law) and on criminal prosecution in the event of copyright infringements (criminal law in the event of copyright infringement).

I. Legal advice on copyright law

Cultural intellectual creations such as linguistic works, written works, computer programmes or works of music, pantomime works, dance and theatre productions, photographic works as well as paintings, photographs, films and radio broadcasts are protected by the Copyright Act (UrhG) for the benefit of the creator.

The Copyright Act distinguishes between

• moral rights, i.e. the right to determine whether and how the work is to be published, and

• the exploitation rights, i.e. the reproduction, distribution and marketing rights.

Individual contract drafting to protect the copyright holder

Comprehensive copyright contract law protects the copyright holder in practice. In this context, we advise and draft for you e.g.

• Contracts on publishing works with software

• translation contracts

• stage publishing contracts and

• music publishing contracts

• agency contracts

• web design contracts.

Legal enforcement of your copyrights

In order to effectively enforce copyrights, the Copyright Act provides for various staggered courses of action. In this phase of copyright protection, our lawyers advise you out of court on the following topics

• copyright warnings

• declaration to cease and desist

• drafting protective letters and

• digital rights management (DRM).

Legal representation in court

In court proceedings our range of advice includes:

• Issuing an injunction (with and without sequestration, i.e. the administration of a matter by a third party)

• Drafting an action for an injunction

• Objection or reply to an objection

• Closing letters or closing statements in parallel with interim relief

• Conducting legal proceedings and filing motions for injunctions in the event of violations of interim injunctions or judgments.

II. Criminal prosecution in copyright infringement cases

We offer criminal law advice in the area of copyright law when it comes to the question of unauthorised exploitation of copyrighted works. This includes, among other things, the making of pirated copies and unauthorised file sharing.

Sections 106 to 108 a UrhG (Copyright Act) criminalise the unauthorised reproduction and distribution of copyrighted objects.

Not every reproduction is punishable. A copyrighted work may be reproduced for personal and other private use, Section 53 UrhG. Personal use is circumscribed by the fact that it is limited to the private sphere, i.e. only persons who have a personal relationship with each other may be involved.

Distinction: permissible and impermissible reproduction of a work

Permitted reproductions of a work may be in particular

• for the author's own scientific use

• for inclusion in one's own archive

• for own information and

• for other personal use.

However, it is a criminal offence to distribute a work if the original or copies are offered to the public (commercially) or put on the market.

Criminal prosecution is possible for our legal and specialist lawyers without a criminal complaint if the public prosecutor's office deems it necessary to intervene ex officio due to the special public interest. In this context, items relating to a copyright offence can also be confiscated in the course of house searches.

Copyright internationally

Cultural representations and works are often distributed internationally. Here we have access to country-specific know-how directly through our partners in the ij INTERNATIONAL JURISTS group, in which we have played a leading role in determining the necessary service levels since 1992.

Where the task at hand requires it, our copyright lawyers work together with cooperation partners, e.g. from the fields of cultural management, insurance and sworn evaluators.

We draft, negotiate, process and deal with contracts within the field of national and international commercial relations. We take care of the conduct of the contract including representation in front of the ordinary Courts and the Courts of Arbitration if a dispute arises.

For this purpose we make use of own continuously developing basic concepts together with proposals for the phrasing of contracts. We also offer the elaboration of general terms of business and the monitoring of their permanent conformity to contract law.

In entry to the market or with the arrangement of new promotional entries we advise you for example with advertisement design, pricing and sales promotion measures.
