Working with customs authorities

Increasing industrialization has facilitated the production of many products. However, globalization also allows counterfeiters to manufacture your products quicker and on a larger scale.

Industrial property rights not only indicate origin, they also provide a means to combat counterfeiters. Through their border seizures, customs authorities offer owners of industrial property rights an effective weapon against counterfeiters. These seizures help prevent counterfeit goods, most of which originate from abroad, from being distributed in Germany. We offer our clients all necessary support and advice required to apply for and obtain action from customs authorities.
