`European Patent Attorney` is a  professional title  protected in English both under German and Swiss law.

Dr. G. Reiss-Hürlimann is further registered  as an  admitted representative on the bar roll kept at the Swiss Federal Patent Court at St. Gallen,Switzerland, pursuant  to Art. 4 of the Court Rules ( www.bpatger.ch, phone +41 58 705 20 10).

 We  are particularly experienced in conducting oral proceedings as your legal representative in opposition and/or appeal on-site before the EPO at The Hague or Munich.

 Inventor-Employee remuneration issues:

Concomittant with filing European patent applications , we are experienced with putting the  German employee-inventor remuneration law into practice, which -  at the level of filing a patent application -  provides for mandatory administrative actions assigning proprietorship from Inventor to Employer . Similiarly harsh provisions exist under French law, but not under Swiss law.  It is  for undesired legal consequences that the issue of assigning inventorship should not be handled with negligence or misplaced generosity - especially in crossborder collaborations, with foreign affilitates of Swiss corporations  or in licensing. We take care to  protect your best interest!

EU unitary patent

The forthcoming EU unitary patent shall be applied for, granted and administered by the European Patent Office, hopefully as early as 2014. Hence, it shall be existing European Patent Attorney Profession who is in charge of the patenting process. Patent Opposition at the EPO, to newly granted EP/EU patents, shall remain the cheaptest and most powerful Instrument to fight newly granted European/EU patents.

Once all relevant provisions have finally been decided on, we will inform you an relevant procedural aspects. However, by virtue of our German business address, we are confident that we shall also be entitled to work on EU patents post-grant, at the bar of the new institutitons being currently set up in Paris and London.
