JUVE Comment

This pure patent attorney firm is respected in patents. The strong filing practice was given a boost as new clients chose the firm and existing clients expanded their portfolios. This led to a rise in opposition suits, where P&P is very visible. The opposition suits and patent filing for auto supplier Valeo are one example. From its filing activity, the firm is also developing much litigation work. Infringement proceedings are conducted with external lawyers.
