Munich’s newest IP law firm with decades of history
With us, your intellectual property is in the utmost competent hands
Our firm is located in the center of Munich, right in the heartbeat of Europe’s IP developments: German Patent and Trademark Office (GPTO), European Patent Office (EPO), Federal Patent Court (BPatG) and Unified Patent Court (UPC) all having their seats here. S2W2 continues with an accumulative 30 years of experience: Robert Schraud, Stefan Waibel, Karl-Heinz Wohlfrom and Axel Schmitt-Nilson are successors to KSNH Patentanwälte Klunker Schmitt-Nilson Hirsch, co-founded by Gert Schmitt-Nilson and Peter Hirsch.
The partners have jointly and successfully been supporting clients for more than 10 years. They have now put together a team that offers custom-tailored services in all fields of intellectual property protection: you will find the right expert for your case among 13 qualified patent attorneys – and you can rely on the expertise of all of them.
One stop shop for intellectual property protection
Patent law, utility model law, trademark law, design law and law on employee inventions guard your intellectual property from copying and unauthorized use. S2W2 gives advice and protects your position in the following areas: nationally before the German Patent and Trademark Office (GPTO), before the Federal Patent Court (BPatG), and before the Federal Court of Justice (BGH). Supra-nationally before the European Patent Office (EPO), before the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), before the Unified Patent Court (UPC), and before the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). For worldwide protection, we are cooperating with handpicked partner firms abroad. We are also negotiating license agreements and out of court settlements with your competitors, clients, and suppliers.
Patent law is our main focus
S2W2 mainly focuses on patent law. Our team consists of qualified and experienced patent attorneys with degrees from highly renowned universities in the field of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, information technology, physics, and chemistry.
