Protection of concepts and ideas

Your lawyers for concept and idea protection

A concept is a valuable asset. As there are no statutory regulations governing concepts or ideas, the basic principle is that ideas may not be monopolised in favour of an individual. This applies, for instance, to business methods, TV formats or game ideas. Yet there are ways of obtaining special protection by means of copyright or utility model laws when the idea has taken on concrete shape.

LR-IP advises you on ways to protect your concepts and prevent intellectual property theft.
