WEICKMANN has received several accolades in Managing IP’s IP STARS 2026 ranking

In this year’s rankings, WEICKMANN achieved the following positions:

Tier 2 in Patent prosecution for Germany – the second-highest category achievable
Tier 3 in Trade mark law – patent and trade mark attorney firms for Germany
Tier 4 (Notable firm) in Patent litigation – patent and trade mark attorney firms for Germany

In addition to the firm rankings, several WEICKMANN team members were also recognized individually. Two of our active partners from the Chemicals & Life Sciences practice group, Wolfgang Weiß and Christian Heubeck, were named Patent Stars. Julia Köhler was specifically mentioned as a Practitioner. Furthermore, Markus Herzog, who has since retired, was once again listed as a Notable Practitioner.

Managing IP’s IP STARS rankings are regarded as one of the leading benchmarks for excellence in the field of intellectual property. The methodology behind the annual rankings is based on information submitted by the firms themselves, publicly available data (e.g. court or regulatory data), market feedback from clients and colleagues, and research carried out by Managing IP’s research analysts. There is no fee for participating in the research process, and the rankings cannot be influenced by payments.
