▬ Why I founded ▬

If the right strategy is missing, patents are not used to their full potential.

On the way to strategic leverage

When I worked with a founding team of a medium-sized company a few years ago, it was clear: the potential was strong, but patents were more of a duty than a strategic lever. In the law firm where I was working at the time, patents were filed safely and reliably. Quick advice was needed: I offered pragmatic help, solution-oriented answers. But I sensed that this was not enough.
Communication took a long time, decision-making was difficult. Transparency? Not at all. Everything was focused on the acute problem - but not on the actual development of the company.

That was the idea behind Patentstrategen. Today, I still support the company. We work via a secure digital portal that gives them access to all ongoing proceedings at any time. They know where they stand - in terms of content, time and finances. We have a regular call every two months in which we not only solve problems, but also develop strategies.

One of the managing directors said to me recently: 

„Patent protection used to be like a black box for us. Today, it is part of our growth strategy.“

That's exactly my point.

In my own office, I can work as I see fit:

  • with a clear view of the big picture,
  • with structured, transparent communication,
  • with tools that make your life easier,
  • and with a consulting approach that supports your company in the long term - not just secures it in the short term.

FAQs

Everything you need to know about patent strategists and our work.

Our services are individual - that's why we don't quote all-inclusive prices. After the initial consultation, you will receive a transparent offer that suits your needs. 

Yes - we advise companies nationwide, both personally and digitally. However, we are based in the heart of NRW.

The initial consultation is about understanding your situation: What do you want to protect? What questions do you have? Together, we will clarify whether and how it makes sense to work together - without legal jargon, but with a clear focus on your goals. The consultation is non-binding and gives you a sound basis for the next step.

We think beyond the application stage. At Patentstrategen, we focus not only on legal protection, but also on the strategic use of your idea - tailored to your product, target group and business model. Instead of delivering isolated individual solutions, we work together to develop a protection concept that has an impact.

We also focus our work on raising awareness of the need to protect future ideas. For example, we involve the entire team and offer suitable training courses to raise awareness of the worthiness of protecting your product or idea.

We support you in implementing the protection concepts with practical tools. 

Yes, in such cases we first analyze the exact nature of the infringement and assess the legal situation. We then discuss possible steps - from making contact to legal enforcement. The important thing is: the earlier you get in touch, the better we can weigh up the opportunities and risks.
