JUVE Comment

This pure patent attorney firm is respected for filing and litigation work, and stands out from the practices in the Ruhr Valley. Following its spinoff from Gesthuysen und Partner the firm has succeeded in positioning a team of young patent attorneys visibly in the market, under name partner von Rohr. The focus of activity has shifted from engineering towards chemicals, life sciences and electrical engineering patents, with work for companies of varying sizes from the region. The firm is praised by competitors for its “sound judgment in bills for small clients”. In litigation, the firm works with external lawyers. But a number of the partners also enjoy good reputations for litigation on the patent attorney side.
