We receive questions like these from clients every day.
Patent law and patent litigation in particular is an extremely complex subject. It often involves technical implications that require an expert’s participation. Frequently patent litigation has also a multi-jurisdictional aspect.
Even though patent law is partially harmonized around the world, there are jurisdiction-specific subtleties that can have a major impact on the outcome of a case. Moreover, patent litigation – like all litigation – is highly dependent on procedural law and procedural law is not harmonized in the slightest. This makes it very hard for our international clients to fully understand how patent litigation works in Germany, what options they have and against which threats they must defend.
