As a specialised IP boutique offering, Bardehle Pagenberg covers the entire life cycle of brands, from building up brand portfolios through to their legal enforcement, and can also adeptly serve interface areas such as competition and licensing law. The practice is a sought-after advisor, particularly in technical sectors such as telecommunications and automotive, but is also regularly instructed in the sports and pharmaceutical sectors. In addition to its German locations Munich, Düsseldorf and Hamburg, the firm also has offices in Barcelona and Paris and therefore further impresses on a pan-European level. Claus Eckhartt, who focuses on border seizures, parallel imports and IP transactions, jointly heads the team with Philipe Kutschke, who is active in dispute resolution and prosecution.
