JUVE Comment

This respected Cologne IP firm is one of the most visible prosecution outfits in the Rhine-Ruhr region with an outstanding reputation for chemicals and pharmaceuticals patents. The patent attorneys were far more visible in litigation than before. The fact that work also involved technologies outside of the firm’s actual specialty proves its many years of litigation experience, which a number of Düsseldorf litigation firms trust in: Dompatent was seen on the side of Taylor Wessing in a mobile communications dispute for Asus. Generally, however, the firm litigates for regular Mittelstand clients.
