This month, WISPRO had the pleasure of welcoming long-time partner firm MUELLER HOFFMANN & PARTNER Patentanwälte mbB to our new office for the first time. Over the years, we’ve worked closely with their team on numerous IP matters—often in daily contact—and this in-person visit marked a new chapter in our collaboration.
Valuable Insights on EPO Appeal Proceedings
During their visit, European Patent and Trademark Attorneys Dr. Nils Jensen and Dr. Johannes Held generously delivered an exclusive session on “Appeal Proceedings before the European Patent Office (EPO)”. Their hands-on experience provided our team a detailed overview of procedural nuances, strategic considerations, and recent trends in European patent appeals.
A Cross-Border Knowledge Exchange with Strategic Value
The presentation allowed our patent professionals to gain deeper insights into the EPO’s approach to appeal cases, helping us enhance our strategic planning for managing opposition and appeal procedures in Europe. Their perspectives were particularly valuable to clients with active or planned filings in the European market.
Strengthening Global IP Capability Through Professional Dialogue
At WISPRO, we believe that direct professional exchange across jurisdictions is key to delivering sophisticated, globally-aligned IP solutions. The insights shared by Dr. Jensen and Dr. Held not only enriched our team’s expertise, but also reinforced our shared commitment to excellence in international IP prosecution and litigation support.
