Boehmert & Boehmert

As one of the most active practices in the patent filing and administration sphere, Boehmert & Boehmert has developed a reputation as a leading IP entity that covers an extremely broad range of technologies and sectors, ranging from robotics and publishing to physics and environmental technology. In addition, thanks to an extensive Best Friends network and its offices in Alicante, Paris and Shanghai, the group is an attractive choice for globally active clients. Markus Engelhard, who focuses on life sciences, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, regularly acts in nullity and opposition proceedings and is particularly well versed in matters pertaining to active pharmaceutical ingredients and therapeutic biomolecules, while Daniel Herrmann primarily assists with establishing and defending patent portfolios in the technology sector. In September 2022, mechanical engineering specialists Nils Schmid, Florian Malescha and Paul Schieler as well as David Kuttenkeuler and Jan Krauss, who both specialise in biotechnology and life sciences, left the team to found IP boutique SKM-IP. Furthermore, Dennis Kretschmann was appointed judge of the UPC in June 2023.
