This year, IAM again recommends seven of our partners: Dr Eva Dörner, Dr Eva Ehlich, Dr-Ing. Sophie Ertl, Dr Naho Fujimoto, Dr Martin Huenges, Dr Andreas Ledl and Dr Marco Stief as the world’s leading intellectual property strategists.
Each year, the IAM Strategy Guide lists the individuals that have shown to possess world-class skills in the development and roll-out of strategies that maximise the value of patents, copyright, trademarks and other IP rights. Only those who have been nominated multiple times by different parties as outstanding IP strategists are listed.
IAM editor Joff Wild emphasizes that IP strategists are “more important than they have ever been before”. We are therefore even more delighted that the excellent work of our colleagues has been recognized in this nomination.
IAM says:
- “Andreas Ledl is an outstanding European patent strategist. His advice consistently strikes a balance between commercial and legal requirements, and his careful planning always results in solid, enforceable IP protection that satisfies his clients’ requirements.”
- “Eva Dörner always recommends the best course of action thanks to her exceptional expertise in both European patent law and chemistry. She is meticulous in her work and provides a world-class service.”
- “Eva Ehlich is a master of European patent strategy and consistently provides brilliant advice that advances clients’ IP and business objectives.” She is a fan favourite when it comes to IP commercialisation.”
- “Sophie Therese Ertl is a key partner for building patent portfolios and is truly committed to her craft. She has an inspiring ability to adapt to ever-evolving markets, and her work is always completed on time and to the highest standard.”
- “Naho Fujimoto is a terrific prosecutor who provides excellent advice and clear guidance on European patent matters. She is an incredibly strategic thinker and a superb advisor.”
- Martin Huenges has excellent technical and legal knowledge, and is full of out-of-the-box ideas that secure the best possible results for his clients. “He has pure passion for what he does and is incredibly dedicated.”
- “Marco Stief is highly regarded for his sound technical knowledge and ability to devise sophisticated strategies that to resolve infringement. He stands his ground to the end, but also recognises when an alternative approach is necessary.”
