JUVE Comment

A respected patent attorney practice and one of the most visible filing firms in north Germany. For its size, which has been small for years, Hauck handles a substantial amount of filing – often initial filing for its strong Mittelstand client base. The patent attorneys are raising their visibility in litigation, esp. in opposition and nullity suits. Infringement proceedings, on the other hand, are only conducted occasionally by the patent attorneys for regular clients.
