This is an intellectual property right with which a technical invention can be protected against unauthorized use by third parties for a limited period of time, typically a maximum of 20 years. <br><br>The term &#8220;invention&#8221; is not defined conclusively by law. Rather, the meaning of the term has developed over time, primarily through case law. In essence, an invention is a solution to a technical problem by technical means. <br><br>An important special feature of patent protection is that it not only provides protection against a more or less identical reproduction of a specific implementation of an invention by unauthorized parties, but that inventions can typically be protected rather as more general technical concepts, so that protection can be achieved that covers a wide variety of technical implementations of the same concept protected by the patent. Patent protection is therefore particularly powerful among all types of intellectual property rights.<\/div>\n            <\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-1007 page type-page status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry\">\n<figure style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\" class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/platzoeder.splitdev.org\/en\/services\/recht\/patentamtliche-und-gerichtliche-patentstreitverfahren\/\" target=\"_self\"  ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1376\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/platzoeder.splitdev.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Patentamtliche-und-gerichtliche-Patentstreitverfahren.webp\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Patent Litigation Proceedings Before Patent Offices and Courts\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/platzoeder.splitdev.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Patentamtliche-und-gerichtliche-Patentstreitverfahren.webp 1376w, https:\/\/platzoeder.splitdev.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Patentamtliche-und-gerichtliche-Patentstreitverfahren-300x167.webp 300w, https:\/\/platzoeder.splitdev.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Patentamtliche-und-gerichtliche-Patentstreitverfahren-1024x572.webp 1024w, https:\/\/platzoeder.splitdev.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Patentamtliche-und-gerichtliche-Patentstreitverfahren-768x429.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1376px) 100vw, 1376px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/platzoeder.splitdev.org\/en\/services\/recht\/patentamtliche-und-gerichtliche-patentstreitverfahren\/\" target=\"_self\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">: Patent Litigation Proceedings Before Patent Offices and Courts<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-599acaa6 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-top-style:none;border-top-width:0px;border-right-color:var(--wp--preset--color--light-gray);border-right-width:1px;border-bottom-color:var(--wp--preset--color--light-gray);border-bottom-width:1px;border-left-style:none;border-left-width:0px;background-color:#fafafa;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-top:16px;padding-right:16px;padding-bottom:16px;padding-left:16px\"><h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(16px, 1rem + ((1vw - 3.75px) * 0.188), 18px);font-style:normal;font-weight:400; margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\" class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-89fd8274bb2ab8b85257386f4e9b07c1 wp-block-post-title has-text-color has-theme-black-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/platzoeder.splitdev.org\/en\/services\/recht\/patentamtliche-und-gerichtliche-patentstreitverfahren\/\" target=\"_self\" >Patent Litigation Proceedings Before Patent Offices and Courts<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-2fdbbef99dda9a2442914c46dc71a379 wp-block-post-excerpt has-text-color has-davys-grey-color\" style=\"\">\n                <div class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">While patents and utility models already have a protective effect due to their publication (passive effect), so that other market participants can be aware of them and can respect their scope of protection, this is not always the case in reality. <br><br>It may then be necessary to actively enforce the protective effect against an infringer, whether initially out of court or ultimately through a patent infringement action. In many cases, however, the alleged infringer will not only attempt to argue against an existing infringement of intellectual property rights, but will also initiate proceedings directed against the validity of the intellectual property right patent before a competent Patent- and Trademark Office (PTO) or court. <br><br>Patent litigation proceedings therefore usually involve both an infringement dispute and a dispute about validity, whether in opposition proceedings before a PTO or in court proceedings, such as an action for revocation. Validity proceedings can also be initiated independently of an infringement dispute.<\/div>\n            <\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-997 page type-page status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry\">\n<figure style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\" class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/platzoeder.splitdev.org\/en\/services\/recht\/arbeitnehmererfindungsrecht\/\" target=\"_self\"  ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1376\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/platzoeder.splitdev.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Arbeitnehmererfindungsrecht.webp\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Employee Compensation Law\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/platzoeder.splitdev.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Arbeitnehmererfindungsrecht.webp 1376w, https:\/\/platzoeder.splitdev.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Arbeitnehmererfindungsrecht-300x167.webp 300w, https:\/\/platzoeder.splitdev.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Arbeitnehmererfindungsrecht-1024x572.webp 1024w, https:\/\/platzoeder.splitdev.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Arbeitnehmererfindungsrecht-768x429.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1376px) 100vw, 1376px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/platzoeder.splitdev.org\/en\/services\/recht\/arbeitnehmererfindungsrecht\/\" target=\"_self\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">: Employee Compensation Law<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-599acaa6 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-top-style:none;border-top-width:0px;border-right-color:var(--wp--preset--color--light-gray);border-right-width:1px;border-bottom-color:var(--wp--preset--color--light-gray);border-bottom-width:1px;border-left-style:none;border-left-width:0px;background-color:#fafafa;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-top:16px;padding-right:16px;padding-bottom:16px;padding-left:16px\"><h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(16px, 1rem + ((1vw - 3.75px) * 0.188), 18px);font-style:normal;font-weight:400;
