Protection of the organization’s intellectual properties is in the interest of every company. Despite their immaterial character, IP rights can be extremely valuable. In turn, personal data are highly prized by cyber criminals. The rules in this area (including the GDPR) require companies to take certain steps and procedures, and non-compliance can result in legal liability.
Obtaining intellectual property rights (e.g. copyright, patents and trademarks) allows the company to secure and profit from the use of trademarks, industrial designs, and trade designations. These intangibles can generate significant value for the organization and represent a major element of its assets. We are fully aware of this, which is why we support businesses in securing protection of their intellectual property, from obtaining and maintaining rights, through commercialization, transfer of rights, and advice when potential disputes arise.
The safety of personal data has never been as important as it is now. Given how valuable they can be for cyber criminals, personal data must be properly protected. Lawmakers’ response to cyber threats (such as the General Data Protection Regulation) has introduced requirements for management and protection of personal data within organizations. In our advisory at KPMG Law, we support our clients in ensuring that their internal procedures comply with the law and thus assist clients in limiting their regulatory risks. We assist in identifying irregularities at an early stage, in order to avoid disputes, and when disputes are unavoidable we represent the parties during proceedings.
How can we help?
These days, personal data require special protection, not least because of the value they represent for cyber criminals. A response to these threats is legislation (such as GDPR) introducing rules for managing and protecting personal data in organizations. At KPMG Law we help reduce legal risks, identify irregularities early enough to avoid claims, and in the event of disputes, we represent the parties in the proceedings.
We assist our clients in securing protection of their intellectual property, from obtaining and maintaining rights, through commercialization, transfer of rights, and advice when potential disputes arise. Applying our many years of experience, specialized knowledge and business approach, we provide services to our clients in the areas of copyright, rights to databases, protection of know-how and industrial property rights (particularly trademarks and industrial designs).
