The IP Advisory Network
Free initial consultation on issues concerning patent protection and software copyright protection
Patent attorneys from Switzerland and Liechtenstein who participate in our network, advise small and medium-sized enterprises as well as individuals free of charge for up to 45 minutes on issues concerning patent protection and the software copyright protection. During this initial consultation, you can clarify your most pressing questions, find out how to proceed further and whether a further consultation would be useful. In this case, the patent attorney will be happy to tell you the additional costs.
The initial consultation takes place directly in the offices of the participating attorney and is carried out by a qualified patent attorney.
Interested? Then please contact the patent attorney of your choice. Please note that you can only take advantage of a free consultation once.
Information for interested patent attorneys
The IP Advisory Network is a joint project of the IPI and the three patent attorney associations VESPA, ASPTA and LIPAV. Would you also like to participate? You can find the conditions for participation, the contractual basis and details on the procedure in the Cooperation Agreement (in German and French).
