Mechanical Engineering
Driving Force of Progress
The development and production of continuously evolving machines and means of transport is an important driving force of progress. Mechanical engineering is one of the most important fields of the German economy and contributes a great deal to the gross domestic product, employment and value creation. That is why products from this field are often imitated. Therefore, effective protection of technical inventions and developments through industrial property rights is crucial in protecting technical advantages, market shares and returns on investments.
