We're a 30-attorney firm, based in Munich, and we work on the plaintiff side in high-tech patent disputes – representing patent holders, from the technical groundwork through to the courtroom.

The Role

Pre-Litigation and Analysis:

Patent portfolio assessments and analysing patent families
Preparing claim charts to build the infringement case
For standard-essential patents, mapping claim features against 3GPP or codec specifications
Validity assessments to stress-test the patent before asserting it
Infringement opinions that reach a clear recommendation on enforcement

Litigation:

Drafting and filing infringement actions
Defending the patent's validity against nullity attacks and oppositions
Preparing and attending hearings before the UPC, the leading German infringement courts, the Federal Patent Court, the Federal Court of Justice and the EPO
Coordinating parallel proceedings across divisions and jurisdictions, working with foreign counsel and technical experts

Who You Are

A degree in (electrical) engineering, physics, computer science or a comparable field
Fluent English, spoken and written; German and other languages useful but not always required, depending on the client and matter

What Sets You Apart

Knowledge of 3GPP, Wi-Fi or video coding standards, or codec licensing
Experience reading source code or examining how a product is implemented
Background in telecommunications, semiconductors, software, electronics, connected cars or physics

Open to all levels of experience.
