The building industry is booming – and faces many challenges. Be it the use of new materials, sustainable solutions for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, or networking building technology in ‘smart homes’ – innovative solutions are increasingly in demand and are taking the place of conventional products. This is a dynamic process of predatory competition, in which competitors from all over the world contend for market shares. The use of 3D printing is already emerging as a future revolutionary development in building engineering.

Innovative products and techniques are often copied in such a transformative situation. The patent attorneys and attorneys-at-law at Eisenführ Speiser are there to assist you with their sectoral know-how and to develop customised strategies to protect your innovations and your business model with a tailor-made combination of patent, design and/or trademark protection against any theft of intellectual property.

We also advise you on how to exploit your intellectual property rights, how to license them, or on IP issues in OEM manufacturing. Last but not least, and where the need arises, we can work with you to develop targeted strategies for court proceedings that have an impact on the market.
