History

The story of IPS Irsch AG’s success began in 2005 when Intellectual Property Services was founded as a sole proprietorship. In 2013 it became a limited company (GmbH) of the same name registered in Frauenfeld. This marked the start of a highly dynamic growth trajectory which soon turned the law firm into a renowned international player. The company has since been transformed into a stock corporation (AG). The organic growth of the last few years has been permanently reinforced by the acquisition of G&A IP AG in Schaffhausen canton, which has once again further extended its range of expertise. IPS Irsch AG is now not only the largest patent law firm in Thurgau, but also already in second place in eastern Switzerland.

The capability of the Frauenfeld patent law firm and the quality of the services it provides have played a large part in its entrepreneurial success. Right from the start the company has invested in modern, efficient and secure infrastructure and built up a fully integrated IT system, thereby setting an example both nationally and internationally. That puts the patent law firm IPS Irsch AG well ahead of its competitors. Efficiency has been continuously increased, while security has been fundamentally improved. This also ensures the company is much better prepared for unforeseen events and can overcome additional challenges smoothly at a consistently high standard. Regarding the staff, integrity is valued highly alongside specialist qualifications.

The growth of the last few years has now been permanently strengthened by the acquisition of G&A IP AG in Neuhausen am Rheinfall. What this means for clients is a notable broadening of the range of expertise and increased security. It also ensures a real boost to innovation for G&A IP AG. Both law firms will utilize the resulting synergy potential for the benefit of their clients. The management teams are convinced that this model has a future: The opportunity to consolidate an increase in market presence and an improvement in client security under the umbrella of a strong partner, while retaining considerable flexibility and independence is obviously an attractive option for further growth. Both companies assign great importance to an inspiring and appreciative staff and corporate culture and have committed themselves to acting sustainably and responsibly. In doing so they have laid the foundation for a relationship with clients that is based on trust and cooperation.
