Our Know-How
The attorneys-at-law in the firm of VOSSIUS & PARTNER have long-standing experience in the field of intellectual
property protection. They offer client counseling in all matters relating to patents, trademarks, design patents
and utility models, as well as drug approval and document protection.
Lawyers specialized in patent infringement law advise clients on patent and licensing matters and represent these cases before the courts of law throughout Germany and before the European Court of Justice. They develop attack and defense strategies in multi-jurisdictional infringement lawsuits that are tailored to the context, and coordinate the taking and production of evidence. Our attorneys-at-law are familiar with the complexity of legal disputes in all fields of natural science and technology.
Our trademark experts have been representing prominent trademark and design patent assets for many years before the German Patent & Trademark Office, the German Federal Patent Court, the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market for Trademark and Designs in Alicante, Spain, and the International Bureau in Geneva, Switzerland. They develop international filing strategies and guide global re-branding projects. In case of infringements, the protective rights are enforced in court and defended against attacks by our clients' competitors.
Other areas of expertise of our attorneys-at-law include the law on employees' inventions, competition and copyright law, domain names, customs seizure and client counseling on licensing agreements, with special emphasis on European antitrust law.

white LEDs are worth mentioning.

Our Team
The enforcement of patents and the legal representation of our clients in patent disputes require both courtroom
experience and technical and legal expertise. The principle of a "mixed firm" as realized at VOSSIUS & PARTNER
allows a close collaboration between scientific and legal specialists under one roof. Together, experienced
attorneys-at-law and patent attorneys establish attack and defense strategies and form a litigation team for
each infringement case. When working on patent disputes, a number of associates from the science and technology
departments support our attorneys-at-law so that even complex technical matters can be dealt with appropriately
from a legal point of view.
The trademark and design patent team of VOSSIUS & PARTNER has proven experience in the registration and enforcement of such protective rights, which represents another focal point in the services provided by VOSSIUS & PARTNER.
