Behind “Franke IP Information” is the team of the law firm Franke & Partner in Munich. Our patent attorneys and attorneys-at-law combine sound legal expertise in intellectual property with technical and scientific know-how — and use this blog to share what occupies them in their daily practice.
Since its foundation in 2008, the firm has advised its clients in Germany, Europe and around the world. It is based in Munich’s Lehel district, in a historic period building right on the river Isar — in the city that, with the European Patent Office, the German Patent and Trade Mark Office, the Federal Patent Court and the Unified Patent Court, is the centre of intellectual property in Germany.
What we write about
Our articles take up current developments and practical questions around intellectual property:
- Patent and utility model law (DPMA, EPO, PCT, UPC)
- Trade mark and design law (DPMA, EUIPO, WIPO)
- German, European and international IP law
- recent case law, office practice and legislative changes
- search tools and guidance for start-ups and inventors
Our aim is to make complex topics clear and practice-oriented. Articles are published in both German and English and are signed by their respective author.
We also welcome qualified guest authors from Germany and abroad who add real value for our readers with further perspectives.
