Optics as a field is currently undergoing rapid technological improvements due to the digital transformation. Today, advancements in optics are not only caused by the development of better lenses and optical devices, but also by digital imaging technologies. These can be used in many areas, but particularly in medical technology, where they support diagnosis and treatment. Thus, I support especially companies that manufacture medical and optical devices in protecting their technical inventions and establishing a defensible position in the market.

My Focus
My Expertise
After completing my diploma degree and doctorate in physics, I joined the Munich-based patent law firm Schaumburg und Partner in 1996, where I became a partner in 2003. I assist companies in obtaining patents in the technical fields of optics, image processing, and medical technology and for software-related inventions.
Offered Services
I support manufacturers of optical and medical devices in protecting their innovative products in Europe through patents and designs. In particular, I have extensive experience in assisting clients from East Asia and the United States in legally protecting their position in the European market.

A main protection tool for technical inventions in medical technologies and optics are patents. Even modern medical and imaging technologies that are operated using software usually contain components that are eligible for patent protection. I support clients in obtaining the patent protection which gives them the most complete sphere of exclusivity for those technologies.
Opposition and patent nullity proceedings
In the competitive landscape of medical technology and optics, patents of competitors may prevent your market entry or you might be sued for patent infringement by a competitor. Here, challenging the validity of the competitor's patent may be a strategic option, which I help clients to explore.
Patent infringement proceedings
After having obtained a patent, sometimes it is necessary to enforce it in front of a court. Here, I support clients in patent infringement proceedings to ensure that their inventions cannot be immitated by their competitors.
Enforcement of designs
Optical and medical devices do not only consist of technical components, but often have also important design elements, which contribute to their attractiveness for customers. I support clients in enforcing their designs and distinguishing themselves in the market.
