JUVE Comment

A Munich firm which is respected for its strong filing practice. W&W widened its base of German Mittelstand clients last year and cemented existing contacts. This now offers further opportunity for the firm to reduce its dependence on its strong international client base. The organic growth also fits in with this strategy. Filing activity goes hand in hand with a busy practice for litigation in opposition suits. The patent attorneys occasionally appear in infringement proceedings.
