granting procedure
We focus on subsequent US patent applications, bridging the differences between German and European law and representing our clients in the granting procedure before the USPTO.
We handle subsequent applications for industrial property rights in the USA that were originally prepared for filing in Europe. We also write applications for filing with the USPTO (first filing requirement) and support our clients in obtaining a foreign filing license.
Due to our experience and expertise in German, European and US patent law, we are aware of the differences between jurisdictions and therefore try to ensure an efficient US examination process with a proactive approach.
The firm's dual-qualified DE/EP and US patent attorneys ensure that communication is as smooth and efficient as possible. In the area of patent prosecution, we work with law firms as well as directly with industrial patent departments.
Washington - Munich
The locations in Munich and Washington offer clear advantages for subsequent patent applications. While Munich enables direct contact with companies from the DACH region, Washington ensures immediate representation before US patent authorities. This combination ensures a fast, efficient process and smooth communication between both legal systems.
