JUVE Comment

A Munich team respected for its patent litigation work which continued along its path towards nationwide visibility. This mainly involves litigation for NPEs like TLI in mobile communications suits and for MedTech regarding medical technology, both of which clients are owned by Marathon Group. In most suits, Noerr’s lawyers appear with patent attorneys from cooperation partner Bosch Jehle. Litigation for NPEs accounts for a good 60% of litigation work, while the rest is for industrial companies, e.g. two major German auto manufacturers, which Noerr advises on strategic projects and licensing contracts. The team grew once more, with a salary partner experienced in mobile communications suits from Bardehle.
