Dr iur Henrik Timmann
Work Department
Intellectual Property: Patents, Trade Marks, Designs, Copyrights; Unfair Competition; Pharmaceutical Regulatory; Product Liability.
Position
Henrik has worked at rospatt from the outset of his career as a lawyer. His clients are mainly large and mid-sized Asian, US and European companies in the fields of biotechnology, chemistry, computer hardware and software, electronics, manufacturing engineering and machinery, pharmaceuticals and telecommunications. The list is not exhaustive.
In patent law, Henrik is mainly involved in litigation concerning infringement proceedings. Together with patent attorneys, he also appears in the associated opposition, nullity and cancellation proceedings. The cases for which Henrik has been retained have given him some wide-ranging insights into such technical fields as mobile telecommunications (2G through 5G), wired communications, inorganic and organic chemistry and process engineering, computer technology, analogue and digital audio and video processing, medical engineering, pharmaceuticals, genetic engineering and optics. It is of great help in this regard that Henrik also has a personal interest in technical matters.
In the area of trademark law, he is frequently involved at the early stage of deciding on and developing marks. He represents clients before the civil courts, including the European Court of Justice, as well as also before the national and international offices.
Other major fields of activity include design law and the law of unfair competition, especially in sectors involving technical aspects. He has particular experience in the field of internet advertisement and marketing, including the relevant anti-trust aspects, such as fighting obstacles to internet trading.
Aside from litigation, his most important activities involve license agreements and the remuneration of employee inventions.
During his career as a lawyer, Henrik has been involved in numerous cases of interest not only to lawyers, but also to the general public. These have often been the subject of reports in specialist journals and other media. Furthermore, Henrik is joint editor and co-author of «Handbuch des Patentrechts» (Patent Law Handbook), 2nd edition 2020, C.H. Beck-Verlag, as well as «Patent Law – A Handbook», 1st edition 2014, C.H. Beck, Hart, Nomos. Henrik also lectures on patent law and other aspects of IP law.
