What does a patent lawyer do?

Patent law covers inventions: patentability and freedom-to-operate searches, drafting and prosecuting patent applications, oppositions and post-grant challenges, licensing and technology transfer, and infringement litigation. Patents are granted country by country or through regional offices, and in many countries patent attorneys are a separate regulated profession.

How do I choose a patent lawyer in Cologne?

  1. Check for a technical background in your field, such as chemistry, software or engineering.
  2. Ask which patent offices the lawyer or attorney files at directly and where local agents are used.
  3. Keep the invention confidential and bring drafts, lab notes and any earlier disclosures or filings.
  4. Confirm the lawyer is admitted and in good standing with the bar or law society in Germany, and ask who will handle your matter.
