MAIWALD PATENTANAWALTS- UND RECHTSANWALTSGESELLSCHAFT MBH is particularly active in patent granting and post-granting proceedings before the European Patent Office, including in proceedings before the Board of Appeal and the Extended Board of Appeal. Based in Munich and Düsseldorf, the firm has a traditional focus on pharmaceutical and chemical patents but also successfully expanded its biotechnology expertise over recent years, including vaccines and stem cell therapy. In-depth knowledge pertaining to supplementary protection certificates is another strength. Other growth areas are electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and computer-related inventions, with a noticeable plus in medical technology-related mandates in 2020. Matters in the digitisation and artificial intelligence context are further growth topics. In addition to the prosecution practice, including a sizeable EPA opposition practice, the team is experienced in IP strategy consulting and, thanks to the in-house lawyers, has also developed a good reputation in infringement proceedings. The client base is very international, with a focus on China, Japan, Switzerland, the USA and Great Britain. Dirk Bühler (biochemistry), Eva Dörner (chemicals), Eva Ehlich (chemicals), Holger Glas (chemicals), Alexander Ortlieb (physics), Alexander Schmitz (electrical engineering), Derk Vos (chemicals), Naho Fujimoto (chemicals), Christian Pioch (physics), Lutz Kietzmann (mechanical engineering), Christian Schäflein (physics) and Martin Huenges (chemicals) belong to the core team.

Mandate mit Digitalisierungsbezug und aus dem Bereich künstliche Intelligenz sind ebenfalls zunehmend im Arbeitsaufkommen vertreten. Neben der Prosecution-Praxis, die eine erhebliche EPA-Einspruchspraxis beinhaltet, ist man in der IP-Strategieberatung erfahren und konnte sich dank der hauseigenen Rechtsanwälte auch einen guten Ruf in Verletzungsverfahren erarbeiten.
