Patent Law

Patents protect technical innovation – but only if they are drafted, prosecuted and enforced strategically. Our attorneys and patent attorneys combine technical and legal expertise.

Our services

  • Patent and utility model filings in Germany, Europe and internationally
  • Freedom-to-operate and patentability assessments
  • Oppositions and nullity actions
  • Infringement proceedings before German courts and the Unified Patent Court (UPC)
  • Employee inventions and inventor remuneration
  • Licence, research and development agreements

Since the CJEU decision BSH v Electrolux (C-339/22) and the start of the Unified Patent Court, patent disputes increasingly have a pan-European dimension. We help you design a litigation and filing strategy that takes this into account.
