Mr Andreas Bothe > Hogan Lovells International LLP > Hamburg, Germany > Lawyer Profile

Hogan Lovells International LLP‘s trade mark practice was recently able to further expand its portfolio of high-profile German and international clients, which is not least due to the group’s broad positioning and its range of advice encompassing both contentious and non-contentious issues. In addition to classic strategic advice and cross-border proceedings, this also includes trend topics such as ESG and influencer marketing. Litigator Andreas Bothe heads the German IPMT group, which also includes Yvonne Draheim, who specialises in trade mark infringement proceedings. Anthonia Ghalamkarizadeh made partner in January 2023 and primarily advises on digital issues, often in the gaming and e-sports sectors. At counsel level, Patrick Fromlowitz advises clients from the pharmaceutical, construction and fashion industries.

Hogan Lovells International LLP is an experienced partner in cross-border patent infringement proceedings and particularly handles matters in the life sciences, technology, telecommunications, automotive and consumer goods sectors. The team, which consists of lawyers and patent attorneys, represents clients in opposition and nullity proceedings and enjoys a particularly good reputation for assisting with FRAND disputes, which is not least due to the close cooperation with its competition and antitrust law practices. Miriam Gundt (life sciences) leads the global IPMT practice, while Andreas Renck (trade mark and design) is responsible for the European group and Andreas Bothe (trade mark, competition and copyright) heads the German unit. Another key figure in the team is Andreas von Falck, who is particularly experienced in cross-border patent disputes and is frequently instructed by clients from the pharmaceutical, medical technology and high technology sectors.

Hogan Lovells International LLP‘s competition expertise is housed within its IP, media & technology practice and covers the whole array of competition issues thanks to a thematically broad team and international network. Trade secrets and know-how protection are just as much part of the consulting portfolio as licensing agreements and client representation in proceedings before German and European courts. Its sector focus rests on technology and telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, automotive and consumer goods, although its client roster also includes players in the energy and financial services industries. Andreas Bothe leads the German team and regularly handles litigation relating to competition and trade mark law, with cross-border cases representing a particular focus. Anthonia Ghalamkarizadeh, who is particularly adept in the online space and co-head of the firm’s gaming and esports group, made partner in January 2023.
