Patent Law
Patent law has been one of the key areas of activity for BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT for many years. Patent attorneys with a broad range of experience, accumulated over many years, work in each of our offices. This is true in respect of the preparation of patent applications as well as advice and consultation in infringement cases and the creation of licensing agreements. We represent our clients at the German Patent and Trademark Office, the European Patent Office, the German Federal Patent Court, and the Federal Court of Justice.
Our benchmark for success in our work in the field of patent law is the provision of solutions which meet our client’s specific requirements whilst embracing their economic interests.
Our patent attorneys are experts in natural and engineering sciences such as chemistry/pharmacy, physics, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. For many years, we have been advising in the fields of biochemistry, biotechnology and microbiology as well as semiconductor and software technology.
Our patent law services cover all matters of patent and utility model law:
- We advise our clients in advance of any patent or utility model application, devise a patent strategy, conduct prior art research and evaluate this.
- We assume responsibility for the preparation and submission of patent applications and administrate these through the relevant official examination procedures nationally and abroad.
- We represent our clients in opposition proceedings, cancellation proceedings and patent infringement proceedings.
- We draw up expert reports on validity and infringement.
- We advise on any contractual matters, in particular licensing contracts and generate, for example, non-disclosure agreements, cooperation agreements and licensing agreements, in each case taking into account anti-trust regulations.
- We offer consultation to start-ups.
- We monitor and administer patents and patent applications.
- We offer all the services of an outsourced patent department including comprehensive advice on matters relating to employee invention regulations.
- We assess patents.
Our client portfolio includes large national and international companies but also the smallest medium sized firms which do not possess their own patent department and therefore have specific requirements which need to be addressed. Our benchmark for success in our work in the field of patent law is the provision of solutions which meet our client’s specific requirements whilst embracing their economic interests. Due to our considerable number of international clients, BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT is very internationally oriented and has a network of tried and tested communicating lawyers across the whole world at its disposal.
