BDPE
Client SatisfactionIn addition to its strong dispute resolution practice, BDPE is also active on prosecution level, where it assists with applications and represents clients in nullity and infringement proceedings before authorities such as the DPMA and EPO. Karl-Ulrich Braun-Dullaeus, who has longstanding experience particularly in the telecommunications sector, jointly heads the practice with Friedrich Emmerling, whose technical focus includes semiconductor technology, mobile communications and software. Further support comes from Dirk Müssig, who is experienced in patent grant procedures and opposition proceedings.
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
'For me, BDPE stands for quality work that we can always rely on. For me, quality is not only defined by convincing arguments in terms of content, but also by very good service, the firm's good technical equipment and fast response times.'
'We experience real team players at all levels who are pleasant to work with. It is difficult to find such a good team of patent attorneys, particularly in the areas of telecommunications, video and audio coding and semiconductor technology.'
'Friedrich Emmerling can provide actual strategic advice due to his excellent technical understanding and wealth of experience. In my opinion, having an eye for the “bigger picture” while simultaneously knowing the details is what sets him apart from many others.'
- 'Karl-Ulrich Braun-Dullaeus can also explain very complex technological contexts in a generally understandable way. In my experience, he was often able to develop decisive arguments, especially when working together in large joint defense groups.'
