Industrial Property Law
As a traditional country of inventions Switzerland offers a comprehensive international and national commercial legal aid. Therefore, Switzerland has entered into all relevant international treaties for the protection of industrial properties. At national level, it should be emphasized that the Federal Office for intellectual properties has been privatized and modernized.
Quality Assurance
In 1999 a new law (Money Laundering Act) was ratified in Switzerland imparting due diligence on companies in the finance service sector. This law is strongly leaned against the due diligence which is already applicable to banks.
Legal Aid
Switzerland has a comprehensive legal aid system at Kanton as well as at Federal level. Government agreements with other states warrant that the judgements delivered in Switzerland are subjected to a simplified enforcement.
