Due to the recent corona measures this walk-in is cancelled. Of course you can e-mail Karen Sam if you have any questions.

Do you want to protect your ideas? Or attract investors with your IP?

We help you innovate with tailor-made support: independent, free and confidential. The consultations are intended for entrepreneurs with questions about patents and intellectual property. For start-ups, but also for SMEs who are already further along.
