Our specialist engineering department supports, advises and represents our clients in obtaining, securing and defending intellectual property rights.
With our team of engineers and physicists we are able to facilitate patent and utility model registrations, opposition and nullity suits and infringement proceedings in the entire field of engineering sciences, physics and the computer sciences. Our expertise in the engineering sciences encompasses all its subdivisions such as electro-technology (e.g. in the fields of energy, telecommunications, high frequency, high voltage, telematics, etc.), mechanical engineering, air and space technologies (specifically aircraft design), as well as various areas of medical technologies, including, for example, diagnostic technologies (X-ray, MRI, ultrasound etc.) and implants etc.
In addition, we are able to support inventions from various branches of physics, such as semiconductor physics (including manufacturing and analysis procedures for solar cells, high voltage semiconductors etc.). Other branches such as optics, laser physics, biophysics, micromechanics, nanophysics, materials science, etc. are also easily encompassed within our purview, as are inventions within computer science. We prosecute and protect these particular inventions before national and European offices and courts, taking into account the various jurisdictional differences in national and European law.
Moreover, together with our specialized chemistry and biology departments, we are in a position to assist in such interdisciplinary themes as biophysics or physical chemistry.
We offer our client comprehensive advice or "troubleshooting" in isolated cases. We analyse the situation, provide expert opinions as desired, compose, track and evaluate intellectual property, advise in licensing or sales thereof and negotiate out of court settlements.
Furthermore, we represent your interests and intellectual property rights at the German and European patent offices and courts and organize the protection of your intellectual property rights worldwide. We are highly experienced in leading and in organizing both national and international infringement proceedings.
