My Focus

is on patent grant and opposition procedures in the field of physics. As a matter of course, my work also comprises nullity and infringement procedures as well as expert opinions.

My clients

do business in optics and optoelectronics and manufacture display and mirror systems, as an example. However, they are also active in automotive and medical engineering or work in the field of renewable energies. Last but not least I support clients in the field of software-related inventions.

In my spare time

I am fond of investigating the effects of Bernoulli’s principle on a spinning dimpled sphere in flight (also known as playing golf), reading and dealing with physics.

My education in short

• Studies of physics at Munich Technical University with emphasis on thermodynamics, optics, energy transport and storage, and computer sciences.
• Master course “European IP Law” at Fernuniversität Hagen – Master of Laws (LL.M.).
• I have been working in the field of intellectual property law since 1984.
