P & TS

P&TS, one of Switzerland’s premier patent law firms, has broadened its scope beyond traditional IP and patent work to become a full‑service provider in innovation law, with a particular emphasis on software law.

In 2024 we welcomed Professor Daniel Kraus—co‑founder and director of the Chair of Intellectual Property at the University of Neuchâtel—to lead the development of this new practice area. Under his guidance, we now advise companies on a wide spectrum of software‑related legal matters, including:

   Artificial‑intelligence regulation and compliance
   Software copyright and licensing
   Open‑source strategy and risk management

At the same time, we have strengthened our core IP capabilities. Our team continues to deliver comprehensive patent and trademark prosecution, as well as robust litigation services. Notably, we now have three deputy judges serving on the Swiss Patent Court, further enhancing our expertise and influence within the national IP ecosystem.
