Strategic protection for the ideas that set you apart
Your creative work, innovation, or brand identity deserves more than admiration. It deserves protection. At Lex Thielen & Partners, we help clients secure, manage, and defend their intellectual property rights with precision and long-term strategy.
Whether you are an artist, a startup founder, a global business, or a public figure, we guide you through the legal framework that protects your ideas – locally and across borders.
From early-stage searches and registrations to licensing, enforcement, and litigation, our lawyers offer integrated support across every stage of the IP lifecycle. Our experience spans copyright, trademarks, patents, designs, domain names, and image rights, as well as trade secrets and unfair competition.
We also advise on complex cases involving image protection and privacy, including for well-known personalities and athletes, with equal strength at the negotiation table and in court.
