Intellectual property and everything around it.

We are your Partner in IP. At IPCO Law, you can come to us for everything about and surrounding intellectual property rights. There is a good reason why IPCO stands for 'Intellectual Property Company'. In addition to our protection services, we act efficiently and effectively when it comes to changes to existing registrations, carrying out IP audits and managing international IP portfolios.

Managing IP portfolios

Do you already have a portfolio of brands or models and can barely make sense of it? Clarity and structure, to the rescue! We check, screen, research, bundle and check again. We will map out your IP rights clearly and advise you on everything related to them. We also check whether your rights are still future-proof and look beyond that to provide just that little extra service.

Would you like us to manage your IP portfolio? Done in no time.

i-Depot

stip-oranje

What

Registering an idea or design with the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property (BOIP), so you can always prove that you were the inventor. The i-Depot remains secret. The i-Depot is not an intellectual property right and therefore does not offer legal protection.

stip-oranje

What for

Ideas, concepts, products, trade secrets, recipes, music, software, designs, textual elaborations, illustrations.

stip-oranje

How

With an i-Depot, you receive a date stamp from BOIP that can serve as legal proof that your idea already existed on a certain date. It is easily accessible, inexpensive, and a good first step towards further protection.

Unfortunately, you cannot protect an idea as such, but with an i-Depot, you often have strong evidence to show that it was your idea. If you want to share an idea with others, such as collaborative partners or investors, it is also wise to first arrange an i-Depot first

Copyright

stip-oranje

What

Copyright protects "works of literature and art”. When you create something original, such as a text, painting, or photograph, you automatically have copyright.

stip-oranje

What for

Copyright gives the creator of an original work exclusive rights to publish & reproduce (exploitation rights) and personality rights.

stip-oranje

How

Copyright arises automatically when you create a 'work'. So, you don't have to register it separately. Copyright is valid 70 years after the death of the creator.

It's nice that you don't need to register to invoke copyright. But of course, you also do not want someone else to misuse your creativity.

Do you need advice about copyrights? Is someone else is copying your work? We are happy to help!

Patent

stip-oranje

What

A patent gives a temporary monopoly on an invention: a technical solution to a technical problem.

stip-oranje

What for

Product, process/method, or combination. You can only apply for a patent if the invention is completely new, not obvious to an expert, and can be applied in the market.

stip-oranje

How

Apply for a patent with the patent authorities.
