IP-Strategy and Patents
Ideas pool
Much has already been thought – why not use it?

I help with the right decision.

Evaluation of the patent portfolio
The task was to optimize the existing patent portfolio. The future costs should be reduced, but still the maximum protection should be maintained. The patent portfolio consisted of more than ten patents.

Competitors compare
The development of competition was followed among others by regular, periodic patent search. By skillfully filtering it was possible to carry out a pre-selection. The relevant patents could be summarized in a report for the management.

This is what others say about my work
“For many years I worked with Mr. Müller-Siebert, who was my contact person for a client with a large international patent portfolio. His structured and pragmatic way of thinking made it possible to establish a highly efficient cooperation with a clear patent strategy and an optimal cost/benefit ratio.”
