Why am I patent attorney?
Since my first intensive contact with patent law, I have been fascinated by the special connection between technical innovation and legal structure. It is particularly appealing for me to capture complex inventions precisely, to formulate them in an understandable manner and to protect them in a legally effective manner. For me, the profession of patent attorney combines technology, analysis and strategic responsibility and makes it possible to ensure the long-term protection of innovative developments.
