JUVE Patent’s Germany ranking 2021 overview
In many mobile communications suits, market-leading litigation firms such as Wildanger and Quinn Emanuel were particularly visible in Germany. Freshfields continued its ascent into the group of German market leaders. It litigated for Continental as Daimler’s most important intervener in the connected cars disputes, and worked for Xiaomi and Facebook in major mobile communications battles. Freshfields and other firms are also positioning themselves on the side of implementers.
Market leader Hoyng ROKH Monégier is now consistently seen fighting for Huawei and Intel. Other firms represent SEP holders, such as Arnold Ruess and Bird & Bird for Nokia.
This segmentation is also increasing among the leading patent attorney firms. Cohausz & Florack, df-mp and Eisenführ have clearly sided with SEP holders. But Maikowski & Ninnemann and Vossius & Partner work exclusively for implementers. Only a few firms, such as Bardehle and Samson & Partner, balance representing both sides.
