The “client” is put at the centre of all activities of Calysta. Calysta does not provide standardized IP services, but tailors them to each “client”. We believe that you cannot provide a proper advice without having fully understood the product, service and challenges of the business strategy of a “client”.

Since I started to work as a patent attorney, it has always been my ambition to thoroughly protect the business of the client, but only as far as economically justified by its business. This approach absolutely necessitates a first step to focus on the “client”, to listen and to keep track of his business. In a second step, the best protection and advice can then be tailor-made based on a comprehensive set of tools, including IP rights like patents, trademark, design, utility models, copyright, database rights and trade secrets. But this set also includes further legal measures from unfair competition law, contract law, labour law, tax law, as well as non-legal measures like internal policies, task management, etc.

The “client” of my private life is my family which I put in the centre of my free time. I love my work with “clients” as I love to spend my time with my family.
