THE HKW ADVANTAGE

Our goal at HORN KLEIMANN WAITZHOFER is to offer our clients the best possible service, while keeping an eye on costs. Of particular importance to us is a close cooperation with our clients, since only a deep understanding of the technologies and needs of our clients allows us to offer sound advice in IP-related matters.

We offer:

  • a young dynamic team (immediate action also on short notice)
  • lots of experience in all procedures (DE, EP, PCT, designs, oppositions)
  • efficent internal processes
  • flexibility with respect to client’s processes and preferences
  • proactive prosecution with an eye on enforcement - thus increasing the value of our clients' portfolios (by considering our clients' technology, competitors' products, R&D, licensing)
