Choose your training where ideas are protected.
Behind almost every well-known logo, clever invention or innovative design lies intellectual property. As the only organisation in Switzerland, we grant and manage the rights of protection for these. Inventive minds register their innovations and creations with us and thus protect them from imitation – whether trademarks, patents or designs.
