Protect your ideas, brands, and creations with legal precision.

At Westhoff Van Namen, we understand that intellectual property (IP) forms the core of innovation and entrepreneurship. Whether you run a technology company, creative agency, or online platform – your intellectual property deserves protection against misuse, infringement, and unauthorized exploitation.

Our attorneys specialize in advising and litigating in the areas of:

  • Copyright: protection of creative works such as texts, software, and designs.
  • Trademark law: registration, enforcement, and defense of your brand identity.
  • Trade name and domain name disputes: taking action against confusion and misuse of your company name, including online.
  • License agreements: drafting and reviewing contracts for third-party IP use.
  • Infringement proceedings: taking action against violations of your rights, both in the Netherlands and internationally.

Copyright

Protecting against and addressing copyright infringement is crucial for your business. This includes software, artwork, or other types of protection.

Copyright protects original works of the mind – from texts and music to software and designs. As a creator, you automatically have the exclusive right to publish, reproduce, and exploit your work. At Westhoff Van Namen, we advise and litigate on copyright matters, including infringement, licenses, transfer of rights, and enforcement. We support creators, companies, and platforms in protecting their creative property, both nationally and internationally.

Trademark law provides protection for names, logos, color combinations, and other signs that distinguish your business from others. By registering your trademark, you obtain the exclusive right to use it and can take action against infringers. Westhoff Van Namen advises on trademark registrations, opposition procedures, enforcement, and disputes. We ensure your brand identity is legally secure – both nationally and internationally.

Trade name law protects the name under which a business operates. As soon as a trade name is in use, protection arises against confusion and deception by other companies with similar names. Westhoff Van Namen advises entrepreneurs on choosing, registering, and defending their trade names. We act in conflicts, such as when a competitor uses a confusingly similar name, and ensure that your business identity is legally safeguarded.
