Mechanical engineering & mechatronics
Ever since the Imperial Patent Office was founded in 1877, when the patent for Karl Linde’s “refrigeration machine” was granted, mechanical engineering has been shaping industrial growth not only in Germany, but worldwide. Linde’s invention revolutionized the brewing industry and shows how patents can protect innovations and preserve their economic impact in the long term. Since then, mechanical engineering has evolved and today also includes electronic and digital control systems, for example. With our patent attorneys and patent engineers, we support you in protecting your innovations in mechanical engineering and mechatronics through clear and strategically formulated patent applications in order to achieve an optimal scope of protection.
; "MedTech"){kind=icon}
MedTech
Medical technology is one of the fastest-growing areas of intellectual property today. With advancing digitalization, the development of innovative treatment methods and the improvement of diagnostic techniques, the great importance of patents and intellectual property rights in this sector continues. IP rights in medical technology not only protect technological innovations, but also make a decisive contribution to strengthening the market position of your company and achieving competitive advantages. From medical devices and diagnostic procedures to personalized therapy approaches – intellectual property rights are essential to preserve the value of these advanced technologies. Our law firm supports you to protect your innovative strength in the field of medical technology and to position your products efficiently on the market.
; "Physics & Semiconductor technology"){kind=icon}
Physics & Semiconductor technology
In physics and semiconductor technology, patent protection is crucial to ensure innovative progress in all technical fields. A milestone was the transistor principle patented in 1947, which became the basis of modern electronics and even established its own legal protection, namely the topography. Patent protection ensured that companies were able to further develop and commercialize this technology, driving technological progress worldwide. Our law firm supports you in protecting your inventions and developments in the field of physics and related areas, such as semiconductor technology, and securing your investments in the long term.

Electrical engineering & communication technology
In the field of electrical engineering and communications technology, the example of Thomas Edison, whose light bulb patent was granted in 1880, underlines the importance of intellectual property rights. Even though Edison was ultimately defeated by Tesla’s alternating current technology, his patents established one of the first global technology companies that is still active on the market. Today, standard-essential patents (SEPs) play a similar role in communications technology, particularly in the mobile communications sector. Such patents, which are required for standards such as LTE or 5G, offer companies not only protection but also the opportunity to monetize them through licensing agreements. Our patent attorneys and engineers have extensive experience in filing and defending patents, which are crucial in this fast-moving sector to defend against imitators and maintain n competitiveness.
; "Biotechnology & Chemistry"){kind=icon}
Biotechnology & Chemistry
The chemical and biotechnology industry has strongly influenced economic development through innovations in processes and products. The first German patent for an ultramarine dye was granted as early as 1877 – a development that considerably simplified the production process, which had previously involved 49 steps. Today, intellectual property plays a central role in the development of novel molecules, pharmaceuticals and diagnostic methods. For example, biotechnological inventions such as the CRISPR/Cas9 gene scissors are revolutionary, as they open up targeted gene editing and thus new therapeutic possibilities. Our experts combine comprehensive technical know-how and many years of experience to optimally protect innovative developments in biotechnology and chemistry through customized intellectual property rights and strategic IP advice, thus securing your market advantage in the long term.
; "Food technology"){kind=icon}
Food technology
In food technology, innovations play a decisive role in the development of new products and manufacturing processes that meet the changing needs of consumers. One example of this is the rapid development of meat substitutes, which are not only becoming increasingly important for health and environmental reasons, but are also coming ever closer to animal meat in terms of texture and taste thanks to technological innovations. Companies that develop new technologies for the production of plant-based or cultured meat alternatives are dependent on the protection of their innovations in order to assert themselves in the highly competitive market. Our firm can help you protect the technology behind your food innovations through patents, trademarks and designs so that you can fully exploit the commercial potential of your inventions.
; "Software, IT & AI")
Software, IT & AI
In IT, software and artificial intelligence, the protection of intellectual property is of particular relevance, as these innovations form the basis of the economic value of many companies. A well-known example of the importance of IP in this area is the dispute over the “Slide to Unlock” patent, which played a key role in the smartphone industry. This patent, which secured the way in which users can unlock a smartphone, became a symbol of the high importance of software patents in the technology industry. Similar to this case, it is crucial for companies working in IT and AI to legally protect their software solutions, algorithms and innovative approaches. Our law firm supports you to protect your technical and software-based inventions through specific patents and licenses and to secure your market position in the long term.
