To strengthen the links between technology and law, many of our patent attorneys have also earned a Master of Laws degree.

Our lawyers are equally fascinated by the interplay of law and technology, in many cases having qualified as lawyers specialising in the protection of industrial property rights. Our legal experts provide cross-industry consultation in the fields of patent law, trade mark, and design protection, copyright law, licencing and unfair competition law.

Many of the patent attorneys and lawyers at Meissner Bolte are active in a wide variety of industrial and professional associations, in part in prominent positions.

Enjoying a regular exchange with colleagues at home and abroad, our professionals experience in real-time all current developments in the protection of industrial property, and our services remain in demand for our expertise in all cross-jurisdictional matters.

At the heart of protecting your innovations lies the ability to enforce and defend your IP. Our litigation team, led by Andreas Kabisch, brings together a wealth of experience from decades of litigation patent cases in German courts as well as the new Unified Patent Court (UPC). We offer clients strategic representation in both national and international disputes, backed by specialized legal and technical expertise.

Whether defending patents, trade marks, and designs against attacks or actively pursuing infringers, we combine legal precision with technical insight to achieve successful outcomes. We understand that a granted patent or registered trade mark is only as valuable as its enforceability in court. Our team ensures your IP rights serve as competitive tools, providing real-world benefits and financial advantage.

In urgent situations, we employ proven strategies, such as border seizures and injunctions, to protect your rights swiftly and effectively. Our extensive experience in inspection proceedings ensures evidence is gathered and preserved, giving you the decisive edge in critical cases. Trust us to fight for your rights - so your innovations can thrive.
