How we see our work
We are a partner and guide to our clients in all matters relating to intellectual property law. Pro-active support is at the heart of all our work. Accordingly, we place a lot of emphasis on understanding our clients' business model, organisational structure and medium to long-term strategy. We derive specific steps for optimum assistance from the continuous support we give to our clients. It is our experience that needs for action are regularly only identified in direct exchange between attorney and client. We do not restrict ourselves merely to reacting to acute problems, but rather develop a strategy for intellectual property rights with our clients and derive specific actions from that in collaboration with them. We bring in the technological expertise we need if it is not already available in-house. We decline tasks we cannot handle properly. We are flexible – this means we never impose our approach, but are guided instead by our clients' requirements – in the selection of communication methods, in personal interactions and in relation to fee settlement. And last but not least, we want the collaboration to be a pleasure both for you and ourselves. Because we believe that achievement is rewarded rather than effort. And achievement comes from the dedication that grows from enthusiasm.
25 years of experience in intellectual property law has taught us that optimum results cannot be achieved by one attorney brooding over the case. Optimum results come from dialogue. That's why, when appropriate, we form a “Case Team” of two attorneys who are entrusted with the case and the underlying technical and legal issues. Both attorneys are up-to-date with developments in the case at all times. This makes us
- fast
- skilled
- reliable.
The Team is formed by the attorneys best suited to the task in terms of technical and legal expertise.
Rather than burdening one colleague, potentially overloaded because of their expertise, with more cases than they can seriously handle, this approach means we ensure that every aspect of the case can be deliberated, and the case can be handled in the best possible way for you. We are happy to assign these tasks – usually in a team with patent attorney Raunecker - to our “Of Counsels”. “Of Counsels” are experienced patent attorneys who cooperate with us on a case-by-case basis and are able to devote the necessary attention to the specific case. We make sure that none of our Of Counsels are working on more than a limited number of cases at any time. Because even the most skilled attorney makes mistakes under high pressure. At Raunecker Patent we don't want such a situation to arise.
