JUVE Comment

This Munich firm is respected for patent filing and one of the few large prosecution outfits in the market. As such, it foregoes a litigation practice with its own lawyers. Only some of its patent attorneys occasionally appear before the ordinary courts. EHF is very visible in prosecution work related to electronics and mobile communications patents, incl. the corresponding official proceedings, e.g. for Osram, Fujitsu and Huawei.
