\n
\n\n\n
\n\n

We are a team of 130 IP specialists. We advise in all technical and legal areas of intellectual property. The qualified and highly diversified training of our team allows us to familiarize ourselves comprehensively and quickly with all intellectual property issues. We can always provide our clients with a competent team of attorneys. With more than 30 patent attorneys and attorneys at law, we are able to handle even large portfolios. For optimal results, our practice groups work together on an interdisciplinary basis. Our successes in rankings of independent assessment bodies prove the success our work system.<\/p>\n

We feel responsible for the interests of our clients. This means that we do not lose sight of business considerations, either. Detailed advice regarding the prospects of success and the costs of any action to be taken is a matter of course for us. We also take into account how costs can be sensibly reduced and staggered.<\/p>\n

We know that our staff are our firm\u2019s greatest asset. That is why we attach great importance to providing our employees with the best possible training. This enables them to think independently and to show initiative and to improve the organization of the firm through their own suggestions. We are proud that a substantial number of our staff has been working with us for decades.<\/p>\n

We also show commitment beyond our firm: On the board of the German Chamber of Patent Attorneys or as tutors at lectures preparing candidates for the qualifying examination for European Patent Attorneys. Further, our partners are active as honorary judges for patent attorney matters at the German Federal Supreme Court, as jurors in business plan competitions or on the board of the Christiane Herzog Foundation for Cystic Fibrosis Patients.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/section><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n
