Testimonial

2026

"What I particularly appreciate about Wildanger's IP litigation practice is the combination of technical precision and strategic clarity they bring to complex cases. Their team is highly experienced, especially in cross-border disputes, and they have a genuine ability to stay focused on the essentials while navigating dense issues."

"Outstanding technical and legal expertise, highly strategic approach especially in SEP/FRAND matters."

"Wildanger is a law firm comprised of attorneys who prioritize their clients’ interests above all else, and are capable of devising exceptional intellectual property strategies."

"The Wildanger team is the premier patent litigation firm in Germany.  They bring tremendous knowledge of German national courts and the UPC to every case they handle.  They are strategic thinkers as well as excellent trial lawyers."

"What distinguishes Wildanger is that even on highly complex matters, their practitioners maintain end-to-end responsibility rather than fragmenting the work across siloed teams. Each professional takes personal ownership of a case from inception through to resolution, which ensures both consistency in strategy and accountability in execution."

"High level of personal attention given to each matter. Communication is clear, responsive, and solution-oriented."

Soenke Fock

"What Soenke Fock does particularly well is combining deep cross-border litigation expertise with a sharp strategic sense in FRAND and SEP matters. He has an excellent grasp of how national and European proceedings interact, and he consistently adopts clear, well-calibrated strategies that anticipate procedural and commercial dynamics. His work is both technically strong and strategically thoughtful, which makes him a highly effective litigator in complex, multi-jurisdictional disputes."

"No matter how busy he is, Dr Soenke Fock makes it a priority to spend time discussing matters with clients and is able to offer constructive and creative suggestions."

"Soenke has earned the unwavering trust of our Japanese clients by explaining the intricacies of the German legal system with patience and clarity, and by remaining responsive and accessible even during extended holiday periods — a level of dedication that resonates deeply with clients who expect continuity and timeliness as non-negotiable standards of service."

Peter-Michael Weisse

"Peter-Michael is an astute strategic thinker.  He can plan and execute an IP enforcement strategy that utilizes both the national court system and UPC."
