In order to provide its members a facility to follow up standard type of cases in European countries where SNB-REACT has no operational facilities, it has concluded agreements with specialised IP lawfirms. Purpose of these agreements are to allow members a consistent approach to follow up actions initiated by customs or police officers. Taking into account budgetary constraints of our members, we agreed on fixed fees set at a relatively low level.

In Germany, we have such an understanding with Wolfgang Preuss, who is in charge of the coordination of SNB-REACT activities in Germany for SNB-REACT. He is our prime contact for our customs matters in Germany. For Civil activities he is being assisted by the partner of a Düsseldorf law firm, Axel Masberg; investigations and monitoring activities are managed by Mr Preuss through various investigation companies.

Customs and police actions can be followed up by SNB-REACT for a rate of € 200 for providing the authorities with expert opinion and reporting the case  (sending digital photos and scanned official list of the seized goods).
Civil matters are managed for a fee of € 350.
