JUVE Comment

This firm, which is respected for patent litigation, is an established player in the Hamburg market. Königer and his small team continuously succeed in advising the IP boutique’s existing clients on patents as well. However, HU does not make use of synergies in litigation and filing work, as the lawyers and patent attorneys scarcely interweave their clients within the firm. The lawyers are, however, often called in by external patent attorneys for litigation, where they mainly represent defendants from various sectors, such as healthcare or food, nationwide.
