Patent Ligitation

„Franck Klein also offers up his expertise on this mandate and earns praise from another satisfied patron for being “extremely skilled, open minded and collaborative. He takes the time to discuss matters in person, which speeds up the process and brings in better results thanks to the exchange of information and brainstorming that happens during such conversations. Franck is also proficient in all three official languages of the EPO, so he grasps the nuances of language used in patent applications and can propose new arguments in opposition proceedings on this basis.“

– IAM Patent 1000 Guide 2024

„Further strengthening the set, Markus Kreuzberg thrives when working with domestic companies seeking protection across the globe. He adroitly oversees the drafting and filing of international patent applications for companies including Conradi+Kaiser, a family-owned business that has established itself as a leader in rubber moulded parts.“

He has extensive experience in the implementation of patent and utility model law and a sound knowledge of international legal practice in intellectual property law, not least due to the support he has provided to clients who are also active outside Europe. Further areas of expertise are employee invention law, trademark law and design protection.

Before founding the new firm, he was a partner and, from 2014 until now, an equity partner at Braun-Dullaeus Pannen. Markus completed his training at the patent and law firm BPSH in Düsseldorf and worked there as a patent attorney until 2010. During his training as a patent attorney, he worked at the Patent Litigation Chamber of the District Court of Düsseldorf, the German Patent and Trademark Office and the Federal Patent Court.

Prior to his training as a patent attorney, Markus worked as an engineer in the metal processing industry for several years, where he was responsible for the development and implementation of new production processes. In addition, he gained experience as an environmental engineer in the implementation of complex legal requirements in practice.

He studied process engineering at the Technical University of Clausthal and technical environmental protection at the Technical University of Berlin.
