Support with questions on property rights, CE and product safety

Property rights and patents

Innovations are crucial for progress and growth. They help companies to remain competitive by developing new products and services. The protection of innovations through industrial property rights is of great importance as it enables companies to secure their investments in research and development. Patents prevent the imitation of products and innovations, which ensures long-term freedom of action in the face of competition. In addition, industrial property rights help companies to strengthen their market position and fully exploit their innovative strength.

CE and product safety

For all products and innovations that are to be launched on the market in the European Union, compliance with legal requirements, such as the obligation to CE mark some product groups and the regulations on general product safety, is essential on the way to a successful market launch. Innovators and manufacturers must develop and manufacture safe products - and must be able to prove this with the help of technical documentation or compliance with standards. Likewise, importers and distributors may only make safe products available on the market and are subject to a corresponding duty of care.
