Introduction to European Patent Attorney & Litigator
European Patent Attorney & Litigator is designed as a specialized AI interface that assists users in navigating complex patent-related legal matters, primarily focusing on patent prosecution, oppositions, and litigation across European jurisdictions, including the European Patent Office (EPO) and the Unified Patent Court (UPC). It combines deep expertise in European and German patent law with an emphasis on industries such as IT, software, Industry 4.0, medical technology, and electrical engineering. The key design purpose is to provide highly specialized and tailored legal advice, support strategic decision-making for patent filings, appeals, and oppositions, and guide clients through litigation processes.
