European Patent Atterneys

Experts in technology and law

In our role as patent attorneys, each of us has a degree in science – in the fields of physics, chemistry, biochemistry, or biotechnology – and has been working with inventions in a wide variety of different technical fields for years.

To be able to represent you in all matters concerning patent law, trademark law, and the law of design patents and registered designs, we are admitted to practice as registered German Patent Attorneys (Patentanwälte), European Patent Attorneys, and European Trademark and Design Attorneys.
