For more than 25 years, companies of all sizes and industries in Germany and abroad have been trusting in my competent and committed consulting services and representation in the field of intellectual property and commercial law, in particular the law on employee inventions: The patent proprietor of the medicament HUMIRA®, a global best-seller, has relied on my expertise in validity proceedings in several jurisdictions. Many (global) market leaders, including in the area of pharmaceuticals, medicinal products, diagnostics, automotive (e.g. transmission systems, pistons, locking systems), robotics, and leading US companies (e.g. semiconductors, confectionery, animal supplies) and the Government Printing Office® were successfully represented by me in highly significant and partly unique proceedings. Far more than 100 concerns and upper mid-market enterprises have entrusted me with the design and implementation of their – international – inventions policy. Top tier IP practices in Germany and abroad consult me as an expert in this special area.
What you can expect: Top legal and technical expertise, entrepreneurial and strategically efficient action, a high success rate and reputation with the Board of Arbitration and the courts, and a pragmatic and personal cooperation.
