JUVE Comment

The patent attorneys have established a strong reputation in both prosecution and litigation across various technical fields, particularly in chemical and electronics patents. The team provides strategic guidance through technical transformation processes for its regular mechanical engineering clients, supporting them in prosecution matters. The firm’s work is evolving alongside the transformation of the traditional automotive industry and its suppliers, with significant new work for a major battery manufacturer.

The firm has positioned itself well internally for these changes, having invested heavily in developing its own AI solutions for specific aspects of prosecution work. It is also taking a strategic, measured and sustainable approach to managing the generational transition expected in the coming years.

European set-up

Following initial experience in UPC cases for regular clients, the firm’s patent attorneys are increasingly collaborating with external lawyers who have accumulated substantial UPC expertise. These efforts build upon well-established relationships with litigation teams across various law firms, including Taylor Wessing. The international client base, exemplified by machinery manufacturer XCMG Group, has fully embraced the new system for both prosecution and litigation matters, maintaining trust in their long-standing advisors.
