»Fighting a case for our client is like a mountain hike – even though I have much experience, every mountain is unique and special in its challenges. It requires perfect preparation and a team that is 110% reliable.«

Dr. Niels Malkomes’ practice focuses on patent litigation proceedings, nullity proceedings and nullity appeal proceedings at the German Federal Court of Justice, as well as opposition and opposition appeal proceedings. His experience gained in various patent infringement and nullity proceedings with international background, particularly in the sector of telecommunications, smartphones and tablets as well as video streaming, including data compression, particularly video and audio coding, is also an asset in his work prosecuting patents before the European Patent Office and the German Patent and Trademark Office. His further areas of technical expertise include the fields of electrical and optical functional coatings and thin film deposition technology and nanotechnology, in which he has acquired a number of years of professional experience. Due to his broad technical background, he also works in a variety of other technical fields, particularly in the field of mechanical and electrical engineering.

Dr. Niels Malkomes is the author and co-author of various international scientific publications. He has also made several inventions leading to patent applications and patents.
