WR on a winning streak: We are once again ranked among the German "top filing and litigation firms" by JUVE Patent

In the "Litigation" category, WR has once again been awarded three stars, with JUVE describing our firm as "well positioned for patent disputes" with "a large prosecution client base". Since our firm's inception respectively since JUVE began publishing its relevant rankings, we have consistently been recognized as a leading firm for IP and patent litigation.

In its analysis, JUVE highlights our proven expertise in providing comprehensive advice and representation in litigation ("comprehensive litigation"), and underscores the strength of our team setup, which benefits from the close collaboration between our patent attorneys and attorneys-at-law. Furthermore, JUVE points to the extensive litigation experience of our patent attorneys, as a result of our active practice in opposition proceedings. 

In the "Patent filing" ranking - which does not involve a more detailled assessment - WR continues to be listed among the recommended firms. In addition, our partners Dr. Christiane Maxien and Dr. Mathias Ricker (“very experienced in polymer chemistry”) are recommended as individual patent attorneys.

JUVE explains its own assessment methodology as follows: "The rankings from JUVE provide an overview of the top commercial law firms in Germany and Austria—clearly categorized by practice area and region. Each ranking is based on extensive research involving law firms, corporate executives, government representatives, and professionals from the judiciary and academia. In conducting this work, the strictly independent editorial team draws upon more than 25 years of experience in the legal market."
