本日、当事務所にドイツ・ミュンヘンに拠点を構える特許事務所TBKの弁理士(Matthias Grill氏)をお招きし、意見交換を行いました。
TBKは、欧州における知的財産分野で豊富な経験を持つ事務所であり、特に欧州特許庁(EPO)やドイツ特許商標庁(DPMA)への対応に精通している事務所です。
今回の意見交換では、特に欧州での意匠権の活用方法に関する最新情報を共有していただき、具体的な戦略や実務に役立つ知見を得ることができました。
また、意匠権の取得プロセスや実際の活用事例についても非常に具体的な内容で、大変貴重な学びの機会となりました。

以下、ホームページより抜粋。
TBK was founded in Munich in 1972 and has developed into one of the leading intellectual property law firms in Germany and even Europe. Our international team of more than 30 patent attorneys and attorneys at law can advise you on all matters regarding intellectual property, supported by our highly qualified staff in various specialized departments.
Our offices are located close to the premises of the examining and opposition divisions of the European Patent Office (EPO) in Munich. This means travel to oral proceedings is quick and easy; also for visits to the German Patent and Trademark Office, the Federal Patent Court as well as the Boards of Appeal of the EPO – all of them located within the boundaries of the “patent capital” Munich and its suburb Haar, respectively. Over several decades, we have established a stable team of excellent patent attorneys who, after their training at TBK, are encouraged to steadily broaden their experience by working for a wide variety of clients. We attach particular importance to a good mixture of clients ranging from start-ups via small and midsized companies to international corporations.
