JUVE Comment

This compact Munich-based patent attorney firm is highly regarded for its strategic prosecution and opposition work, specialising in electronics and mechanical engineering, primarily at the intersection with IT, mobile communications, and medical devices. The team maintains high visibility in numerous opposition proceedings, including work for ZF Friedrichshafen and Crown Equipment.

Even before the launch of the UPC, the firm regularly appeared in proceedings alongside external lawyers. Its UPC work has since lent the firm further visibility. The patent attorneys handle substantial cases for several long-standing clients, including medical device manufacturers Fisher & Paykel Healthcare and Shockwave Medical.
