About Me
As counsel and a member of our intellectual property team based in Munich, I provide advice on technical property rights, particularly in the technical fields of biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and medical products.
I advise and represent clients in the field of technical property rights, in particular in inter partes proceedings at the German Patent and Trade Mark Office, the European Patent Office and the German courts responsible for patent infringement and nullity proceedings. Over the years, I have represented clients from the pharma and biotech industries in patent matters at the European Patent Office, German Regional Courts, the German Federal Patent Court and the Federal Supreme Court. I have also represented clients at the Court of Justice of the European Union. Further, I have represented clients before the Unified Patent Court.The focus of my practice is on the technical fields of biotechnology, medical products and pharmaceuticals. Further, I also have experience working as a scientist for a pharmaceutical company, where I was involved in the development of a novel antibody format for therapeutic or diagnostic use.
Moreover, I have advised clients regarding supplementary protection certificates and compulsory licenses.
