Soon after, we transitioned into Kador & Partner, incorporating patent attorneys and attorneys at law, marking this year as our 50th anniversary. Our attorneys advocate before various European and German patent authorities and courts, including the German Patent and Trademark Office (GPTO), the European Patent Office (EPO), the European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), the German Federal Patent Court and Federal Supreme Court, German ordinary courts in cancellation and infringement proceedings, and, last but not least, the newly established European Unified Patent Court (UPC). We strive to provide comprehensive technical and legal counsel across all aspects of intellectual property law. At our core, we prioritize personalized service, offering timely and tailored advice to address our clients’ specific needs. Additionally, we maintain a strong presence in internationally recognized intellectual property organizations such as AIPPI, FICPI, INTA, ECTA, GRUR, and LES, underscoring our commitment to global engagement and the advancement of IP law.
