Contentious patent proceedings. Nothing else.
We are a patent litigation firm. Our work is enforcing and defending high-tech patents before the courts that decide these disputes in Germany and Europe.
Types of proceedings
UPC proceedings
Representation before the Unified Patent Court in infringement and revocation actions. We have been active in UPC proceedings since the court opened.
Infringement proceedings
Enforcing patents and defending against infringement claims before the leading German courts (Munich, Mannheim, Düsseldorf), including preliminary injunctions and enforcement.
Nullity proceedings
Attacking and defending validity before the Federal Patent Court and the Federal Court of Justice, usually in close coordination with the parallel infringement dispute.
Opposition & appeal (EPO)
Opposition and appeal proceedings before the European Patent Office, on their own or as part of a wider dispute strategy.
SEP litigation
Standard-essential patents: from essentiality analysis to enforcing entire SEP portfolios before the German courts and the UPC.
