Boehmert & Boehmert impresses with an active filing practice, which, supported by its international locations in Alicante, Paris and Shanghai, has a strong position both geographically and in terms of expertise. The practice's broad expertise covers sectors such as electronics, robotics, biotechnology and telecommunications and is complemented by knowledge of adjacent soft IP areas such as design law. In addition to patent applications, the group assists clients with portfolio development and represents them in contentious proceedings, often in cooperation with its in-house lawyers. Pharmaceutical active ingredients and therapeutic biomolecules are the central focus of Markus Engelhard, while communications technology and audio and video coding are part of Felix Hermann's skill set.
