JUVE Comment

This respected patent attorney firm strengthened its clear focus on the chemicals and pharmaceuticals sector by boosting its headcount with three patent attorneys at associate and salary partner level from the industrial sector or competitors. The patent attorneys are mostly seen on the side of regular clients like BASF and Roche Diagnostics and consequently have a very good reputation for filing chemicals and pharmaceuticals patents. They are rarely active in litigation traditionally, and if so, then mainly for pharmaceuticals companies in cross-border suits, where they work exclusively with external lawyers.
