Creating IP rights
Creating own IP rights makes it possible to balance others' IP rights and to take command of your competitors. We help you stimulating innovation and capturing IP through proactive consulting.
Dispute resolution
To protect the value of your exclusive rights and the investments you have made in them, you need to take quick and effective action against persons or companies that you believe are infringing your rights. We will represent you in all civil cases concerning IP rights.
Most disputes will never proceed to litigation. We pride ourselves on being able to assist you in resolving most disputes early on. However, when litigation cannot be avoided, you are in the safest of hands. We have very strong track record in litigating on behalf of our clients.
The reason for this is simple: we are very experienced in litigation and we dedicate ourselves to your success every step of the way, giving you advice in every situation.
Licensing & contracts
As firms shift to more open models of innovation, they need to exploit their IP. Not only by incorporating protected innovations into new products, processes and services, but also by licensing them to others or using them as bargaining chips in negotiations.
Awapatent can help you exploit your intellectual property through licensing, contracts and other commercial agreements.

Domain names and Internet law
Digital media have increased the risk of various types of infringement. For example, what do you do if someone registers a domain name that is similar to your own? Search advertising, banners, Facebook and Twitter are all areas in which a company may suffer fraud and infringement of its intellectual property rights. Many of these areas also have their own dispute resolution systems. Awapatent knows when and how to act.
