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.'
