Maikowski & Ninnemann enjoys an excellent reputation in patent litigation and operates with a balanced focus on both prosecution and contentious proceedings. The group offers comprehensive expertise in national and cross-border disputes and was recently particularly active in proceedings before the UPC. It covers a broad spectrum of specialist areas, such as telecommunications, video coding and automotive, and is often involved in standard-essential patent matters; the latter is one of Gunnar Baumgärtel's mainstays, who, in addition to contentious proceedings, also frequently assists with licensing and cooperation agreements. The team further includes Christoph Schröder and Andreas Tanner, who are well versed in telecommunications, among other areas.
