Integration: A Century of Experience Combined with Cutting Edge Technology

The organization of Deriş is built to offer superior services for all client IP needs with the help of the most up-to-date technology. Combining nearly a century's worth of comprehensive experience in every aspect of IP protection with our proprietary, multi-platform, management help ware (I.P.M.S.®) and integrated ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) package helps us provide our clients with high quality, continuous and consistent services. For example, with I.P.M.S.®, clients and associates have online access to their files, thus providing a collaborative and transparent working relationship that greatly enhances efficiency.

Comprehensiveness: IP is an Asset in Every Respect

Deriş considers IP rights to be assets and has constructed its own organization accordingly to provide services with a proactive approach. Deriş provides clients a complete range of legal services as well as industrial property agency services with regard to matters such as conception issues and the initial securing of protection, as well as enforcement, defense and contractual matters.

Collaboration: Partnership and Teamwork

Deriş emphasizes personalized collaboration with our clients. We strive to develop close working relationships that foster lasting partnerships. A culture of teamwork within the firm permits our legal professionals to share and enhance individual experience through collective work, continuous professional education, training and orderly and methodical transmission of knowledge, experience and organizational capabilities.

Universality: The Ability to Operate Across Jurisdictions and Across Languages

With collaborators coming from multinational educational backgrounds, Deriş has an operational capability in many different languages. An extensive network of well-established and experienced correspondents throughout the world, in combination with the cutting edge I.P.M.S.® help ware, permits Deriş to operate cost effectively on a multi-jurisdictional basis.

A Holistic Approach to IP Protection

Deriş works in close collaboration with clients, constantly exchanging information, opinions and documents, in order to determine the course of action best suited to the case and the client's objectives. We function proactively to:

• identify upfront potential sources of conflict
  
  
• eliminate as far as feasible legal uncertainty
  
  
• avoid litigation and ensure trouble free and uninterrupted operation
  
  
• understand and assess each and every detail which might affect the parameters of protection and enforcement
