Intellectual Property Protection

Your IP Is Your Competitive Edge

Nearly 80% of a modern company's value is tied up in intangible assets — yet a significant share of German SMEs operate without registered trademark or patent protection. IP disputes move fast, and without documented, registered protection in place, reclaiming what is rightfully yours becomes an uphill process.

KiloJur works systematically to identify, register, and enforce your intellectual assets before problems surface. We handle everything from initial audits through DPMA and EUIPO filings to active infringement enforcement.

DPMA registration in Germany usually takes 3–6 months from filing, assuming no objections. EUIPO registrations typically take 4–8 months. KiloJur expedites examination by addressing office actions promptly.
