Acceptance of mandate

Patent attorneys are prohibited from representing conflicting interests by professional regulations (Section 39a (4) Patent Attorneys’ Regulations). Before accepting a mandate, it is therefore always checked whether a conflict of interest exists.

In any case, the acceptance of a mandate requires the express confirmation of one of the patent attorneys authorised to represent the partnership with limited professional liability.

Out-of-court settlement of disputes

In case of disputes between patent attorneys and their clients, there is the possibility of an out-of-court settlement of disputes at the Chamber of Patent Attorneys upon request (Sec. 69 (2) No. 3, (5) Patent Attorneys’ Regulations).

We are not legally obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. We therefore ask for your understanding that we generally exclude our participation in such dispute resolution proceedings.
