- How can I protect my own ideas, inventions and developments?
- How do I protect myself against product or brand piracy?
- How do I ensure that a newly developed product or process does not infringe the rights of any third party?
- What can I do if I have violated the rights of any third party myself?

- Where can I find the necessary information on all aspects of commercial property rights?
