With a team consisting of solicitors and patent lawyers, Vossius & Partner is ideally equipped to provide comprehensive advice to global and national companies on the entire spectrum of IP matters. The group is just as experienced in strategic consulting and registrations as it is in conducting opposition proceedings before offices such as the DPMA and EPO, and can seamlessly assist clients from Asia via its internal Asia Desk. Technical mainstays include chemistry, pharmaceuticals and biology, although the practice further excels in matters relating to mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and IT. Elard Schenck Zu Schweinsberg frequently handles opposition proceedings concerning the interface of mechanical engineering and biology; while the latter is also one of Jürgen Meier‘s central consulting areas.
