Lawyer Rankings

Switzerland > Intellectual property

With substantive expertise across the fields of pharma, biotech, medtech and media, VISCHER frequently operates at the interface of IP and technology regulation alongside demonstrating significant skills on the IP litigation side. The practice is co-helmed by the ‘very smart’ Stefan Kohler and Lorenz Ehrler; the former maintains a wide-ranging practice that varies from trade mark administration to industrial engineering issues, and the latter is regularly retained by clients for assistance with trade mark, company name and unfair competition litigation. The ‘trusted’ Rolf Auf Der Maur is noted for his familiarity with copyright law, licensing agreements and IT issues.
