Consultancy Fields – Boden Rechtsanwälte

In order to clarify the main areas of focus of our law firm, we go into the subject areas in more detail below.

Trademark rights

A trademark can be of considerable value to a company. In order to protect it, a well thought-out plan of action and a meaningful strategy are needed. We are experts in trademark law and know exactly how you can comprehensively protect your trademark and use it profitably. We manage your trademark project and also take into account related areas of law, such as competition and anti-trust legislation. The registration of trademarks is just as much part of our law firm’s tasks as the out-of-court and in court representation of trademarks in conflicts, as well as the transfer and licensing of trademark rights.

Because trademark law is strongly influenced by specific national and international aspects, all legal matters require a maximum level of care. We advise you on the opportunities for internationalising your trademark protection and develop the perfect solution for your requirements.

Design and design patent law

In addition to the trademark, the design of a product can be specifically protected by registration rights. If you would like to register and secure a design or design patent, we are the right people to contact. We process applications, monitor protection periods and develop efficient solutions to protect your creativity on the international stage against imitations.

You would like to defend yourself against attacks and need the support of a legal team? We are here for you and represent your interests in and out of court with respect to third parties.

Competition law

Boden Attorneys-at-Law have already successfully dealt with numerous cases associated with competition law. In accordance with their experience, support for the client satisfies the highest requirements. It is irrelevant whether this relates to the correct marking of consumer goods, information obligations in the online shop or the defence against written warnings. Our range of services comprises warnings under competition law, the review and preparation of general terms and conditions, checks of labelling obligations and the Internet shop review.

As a result of their continual further training, our lawyers are extremely well informed about the latest requirements of German and European law. This relates, for example, to the law on fair trading practices and the so-called market conduct rules. We keep an eye on German and European standards in order to minimise competition risks for you and effectively enforce your claims.

Data protection legislation

Data protection in companies has so far been a neglected topic in many of these companies. With the new General Data Protection Regulation, companies will have to change their attitude to this topic. Operators of businesses who neglect data protection management risk substantial fines. However, the right form of data protection management can also bring competitive advantages and positively influence the image of a company.

We formulate company agreements under data protection law, assume important tasks as external data protection officers or explain essential measures for the protection of data. With a data protection concept, we ensure that businesses in Germany and Europe comply with data protection regulations.

Copyright and media law

Copyright and media law regularly presents companies with new challenges. The unauthorised publication of image material or the unauthorised provision of media content, as well as legal consequences in the case of social media offers. The list of seemingly minor slip-ups that can turn into unpleasant problems is long.

This also includes action against untrue statements or statements that infringe personal rights in online and classical print media. Our specialist lawyers for copyright and media law answer all copyright and media-related questions, assist companies with the design of legally compliant media offerings and protect your personal rights and those of your company.

IT law

Information technology is subject to constant change, which creates difficulties with respect to the legal rules of the game. The multi-faceted influencing factors in this subject area make it almost impossible for companies to handle all legal subtleties in a professional manner. We are acquainted with the legal problems of the IT industry, which require extensive expertise as cross-cutting material in various fields of law.

With our experience you can prevent legal disputes before a court and the associated costs. We advise clients on e-commerce, matters of hardware, software and provider contracts – also on the international level – and supervise IT projects of all kinds.

Contract law

Whether manufacturing industry, trade, an advertising agency, e-commerce start-up or producer: without contracts, various forms of cooperation, projects or sales would be inconceivable. Contracts regulate agreements in writing and provide the parties with the necessary degree of certainty which trusting partnerships require.

We formulate terms of use, general terms and conditions and contracts in a legally compliant manner so that you can concentrate on your business success. Furthermore, we draw up and review franchise, licensing, cooperation, know-how, framework supply and distribution agreements.
