Prüfer & Partner

Prüfer & Partner mbB is one of the most renowned German IP law firms. It protects its clients’ ideas, inventions and product developments worldwide and enforces their claims in court – whether technical inventions or other IP rights. Today, almost 60 employees – including 21 patent attorneys, lawyers and patent specialists – work for the IP boutique.

Prüfer & Partner was founded in 1972 and quickly developed into an internationally oriented law firm with a focus on IP protection. A successful generation change took place between 1998 and 2002 with the succession of patent attorneys Dorothea Hofer, Jürgen Feldmeier and Andreas Oser.

Prüfer & Partner is thus an established and highly respected medium-sized law firm with a stable global partner network. The firm advises clients on the filing of IP rights, supports them in all IP matters and defends their IP rights in court.

At Prüfer & Partner you can expect a strong and carefully selected community of attorneys-at-law, patent attorneys and technical specialists. The firm represents the interests of its clients at the highest level. Prüfer & Partner is familiar with complex and demanding cases and works with utmost dedication.

Diligence and competence play an important role in intellectual property law. The attorneys of Prüfer & Partner work strictly according to German quality standards: thoroughly, on time and cost-efficiently.

The Asian region has been playing an increasingly important role in the global economy for many years. It has developed into an important production location for both large and medium-sized companies. At the same time, China in particular is rapidly catching up in terms of innovative business models and products. Prüfer & Partner continuously cultivates business in China and in the Asian countries – especially in Japan. Counselling clients from these countries regarding their IP affairs in Europe and supporting European clients doing business in Asia is a strength of Prüfer & Partner’s practice.

Based in Munich, the German centre of intellectual property law, Prüfer & Partner sees itself as a one-stop-shop IP boutique for its clients.
