About Us

COHAUSZ & FLORACK (C&F) is a law firm founded in 1954 with offices in Düsseldorf and Munich and a team of around 140 people. The firm supports its clients – both international corporations and innovative, medium-sized German companies, some of whom have been clients for decades – in all matters relating to intellectual property and unfair competition. This includes the registration, administration, and licensing of extensive intellectual property portfolios, searches for third-party intellectual property rights, and related freedom-to-operate opinions as well as cooperation agreements. C&F also represents its clients in proceedings over the infringement or the legal status of IP rights. The firm sees itself as a strong partner, advising its clients proactively, individually, and holistically on all IP matters. The 31 patent attorneys and 5 attorneys-at-law boast exceptional technical expertise and work together as an efficient, interdisciplinary team and in a spirit of trust.

C&F combines knowledge in all technical disciplines under one roof – from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and ICT to chemistry and life sciences – with the current demands such as environmental technologies or artificial intelligence always playing a role. C&F also has a wealth of experience in IP proceedings in other countries, which include the EU member states and the North American and East Asian G20 countries. For this purpose, the firm harnesses its solid network of partner law firms across the globe. Internally, C&F strives towards the long-term advancement and high-quality training and development of its team members, who are all dedicated to protecting innovation with curious and open minds. In this way, C&F is instrumental in ensuring that companies invest in development, remain competitive, and enrich society with their ideas.
