Intellectual property > Patent litigation: patent lawyers Tier 2
Uexküll & Stolberg is broadly equipped with three specialized teams. Under the leadership of Peter Franck (chemistry), Bernd Janssen (technology) and Albrecht von Menges (biotechnology), litigation represents one of the firm's central pillars. From the main office in Hamburg and its Munich branch, the practice acts in contentious application proceedings before the DPMA and the EPO and is regularly instructed to assist with nullity and infringement proceedings. The mixed law and patent law firm's client base includes large international corporations, for whom the team's experience in cross-border proceedings is particularly valuable, as well as numerous medium-sized companies and start-ups.Practice head(s):
