JUVE Comment

The patent attorneys at this independent Munich law firm have established themselves as significant players in UPC litigation, leveraging their extensive experience in IT and mobile communications. Their representation of Texas Instruments in a chip-related case exemplifies this expertise.

Unlike direct competitors such as Maikowski Ninnemann, Samson regularly acts for both plaintiffs and defendants. However, its track record, while diverse, is somewhat smaller compared to some rivals.

The firm has also developed specialist expertise in solar cell litigation, tapping into a new client base. A notable highlight in this area is the comprehensive representation of JA Solar.

For proceedings at the UPC and national courts, Samson capitalises on well-established relationships with law firms such as Freshfields and Hoyng ROKH Monegier to represent its clients effectively.
