Patent
Opinion

An expert opinion on your patent (patent expert opinion) can be relevant in various constellations. On the one hand, the patentability of your patent can be checked by means of such a patent assessment. On the other hand, a patent expert opinion serves to determine whether there are conflicting third-party property rights.

In these areas, too, it can be seen that the commissioning of the corresponding expert opinion based on a patent has both increased and gained in relevance in recent years. It is not uncommon for our firm’s patent attorneys to be instructed by the courts to prepare an expert opinion, which in turn leads to an intensive patent search.

In relevant cases, we advise our clients to have a patent search carried out by a specialized patent attorney.
