df-mp is a top firm in intellectual property law with an international outlook and a broad scope of specialized expertise. df-mp counsels and represents domestic and foreign clients in all areas of patent, utility model, trademark, and design law.

The patent attorneys of df-mp can represent clients in proceedings before the European Patent Office, the German Patent and Trademark Office, the German Federal Patent Court, the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM, European Trademarks and Designs), the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as well as before other specific courts in Germany and the United States.

Due to the fact that two of the firm’s co-founders acquired qualifications and experience in intellectual property law in the European and U.S. legal systems, df-mp is uniquely able to develop strategies and concepts that are customized for meeting the legal requirements of both.

A main focus of our activities lies in opposition proceedings before the European Patent Office. Our patent lawyers have considerable experience in challenging the patents of third parties as well as in defending patents in proceedings before the Opposition Divisions and before the Appeal Boards of the European Patent Office.

Yet another aspect of df-mp’s practice is advising our clients on patent infringement and representing them in litigation proceedings, where our advice is based on actual experience in numerous national and international disputes. For multinational litigation, law firms throughout the EU consult with df-mp for a coordinated litigation strategy.

Clients also come to df-mp for opinions on potential litigation. df-mp’s patent attorneys are able to comment on all queries associated with potential patent infringement. They routinely provide comprehensive freedom-to-operate analyses for the European market.
