Karlsruhe is not only home to Germany’s oldest and most prestigious technical university (the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) and is at the heart of a thriving high-tech region; it is also a seat of law. Two of the highest German courts are located here: the Federal Constitutional Court and the Federal Court of Justice, the court of last resort with jurisdiction in industrial property rights and competition law.

Our intellectual property law firm, founded in 1928, is led today by six partners under the name of Lemcke, Brommer & Partner. The short walking distance to the District Court, the Higher Regional Court and the Federal Supreme Court symbolises the proximity of the intellectual property law firm to current German case law; the location near the French and Swiss borders reflects its traditionally international outlook.

The law firm’s organisational structures and international links, built up over decades of continuous practice, and the technical background of the six patent attorneys in a wide variety of specialist areas guarantee expert advice and the smooth professional execution of national and international activities dealing with patents/utility models, trademarks, design patents, licensing and litigation.

In addition, close co-operation with specialised law firms guarantees complete service in the area of competition law, including comprehensive advice on competitive strategic action in the marketplace and full settlement of not always avoidable disputes.
