Taylor Wessing impresses with cross-border skills, which also benefit clients in extensive patent litigation. This has resulted in an international client base, particularly from the US, Japan and China as well as Taiwan and South Korea, although start-ups and German companies also form part of its client roster. The practice group’s sector focus primarily lies on life sciences and technology. Gisbert Hohagen leads the team and has expert knowledge of employee invention law, while Dietrich Kamlah is experienced in antitrust- and SEP-related matters. Roland Küppers, who assists with issues in the telecommunications, optoelectronics and semiconductor technology areas among others, is another key contact.
