Testimonial

2026

"World class service. Very reliable with a constant high level of quality. Very competent partners and attorneys with high customer orientation."

"The team at Epping Hermann is always on point with respect to accuracy, timeliness, clarity of communication, and effective strategies."

"We really appreciate their strong professional skills and quick response. In our recent patent dispute, their team understood complex technical details well and handled German patent court processes smoothly. They always updated us on the case in time, explained legal risks clearly, and adjusted strategies when needed. They were also transparent about costs and progress, which helped us avoid worries."

"Their filing and administration service is accurate and efficient. They write patent applications carefully, making sure they meet official requirements while protecting our technology well. They also keep track of important deadlines (like renewal fees or response times) to avoid mistakes, and organize documents neatly. For international filings, they coordinate with foreign partners to make things easier for us. Our patent approval rate is high because they know how to deal with technical fields and changing official rules."
