Profile

I have been working for several years as lawyer in Duesseldorf. My work focuses on German, European and international patent law.

My patent litigation experience includes numerous major infringement court cases in the important German patent litigation courts (Duesseldorf, Mannheim, Munich and Hamburg), as well as patent opposition and annulment proceedings at the European Patent Office, the German Patent Office and the German Federal Patent Court, including Appeals to the Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof). I have also advised clients in cross-border court cases and international litigation strategies. I regularly represent foreign clients, as patent proprietors as well as defendants and/or licensees.
