Patent grant procedures and patent applications form the core of Uexküll & Stolberg's advice portfolio, which is predominantly called upon by German and international medium-sized companies and large corporations. This expertise is complemented by a strong litigation practice which is experienced in opposition and nullity proceedings before German and European authorities and courts. The technical focus rests on three pillars: chemistry and pharmacology, with Peter Franck and Bernd Janssen as key contacts, biotechnology and life sciences which are covered by Albrecht von Menges and André Guder, as well as electronics and mechanical engineering; matters related to the latter areas are frequently handled by Johannes Ahme and Lars Manke, among others.
