Experienced patent attorney for your intellectual property (IP) matters.
I understand the need of IP departments to receive premium service at adequate cost.
My goal is to be a companion for stakeholders in IP matters along their path in ex parte and inter partes proceedings, even when this path gets rocky.
In view of my technical background (theoretical physics, solid state physics, optics, and quantum information processing), I provide legal counselling also in the areas of computer-implemented inventions (CII), including artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML), quantum information processing, and quantum computing.
About me
I provide legal advice and representation in patent, utility model, trademark, and design matters. In addition to application drafting and prosecution in proceedings before the German Patent and Trademark Office, the European Patent Office, and the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), I have experience in contentious proceedings (oppositions and litigation). I am also admitted as a European Patent Litigator (UPC).
Why you may want to consider me as your IP service partner
I understand that IP departments and other IP stakeholders (be it individual inventors, start-up companies, mid-sized firms, or multi-national companies) need to operate under budget constraints. My goal is to provide premium patent attorney service in an efficient manner to accommodate this need.
My mathematical/quantum physics background provides the basis for my service in matters relating to computer-implemented inventions (CII), including artificial intelligence (AI), imaging techniques, and quantum information processing.
Short summary of my technical background
Before starting my own firm as a freelance patent attorney at meier ip, I trained in a medium-sized IP boutique (Kraus & Weisert) and subsequently worked in one of Germany’s top tier IP firms (Vossius & Partner).
I am a physicist by training (LMU Munich, University of Oxford, New College Oxford, University of Basel). I hold a PhD in theoretical physics and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree. Prior to joining the IP profession, I worked at the California NanoSystems Institute and the University of California Santa Barbara. My work was recognized with various awards and scholarships and published in numerous scientific articles.

As reported by the European Patent Office (EPO), questions relating to the adaptation of the description were referred to the Enlarged Board of Appeal (G 1/25). It is the EPO’s practice that the description must be aligned with amended claims. I.e., when claims are amended, the description should be adapted accordingly to reflect these changes, …
The EPO has published the 11th edition of the Case Law of the Boards of Appeal. The case law book (which is available in digital format only) is a great resource on the plethora of decisions rendered by the Boards of Appeal in both ex partes and inter partes proceedings.
The new UPC Case Management System (CMS) went live today. Entering the new CMS was smooth. Users can look forward to the integration of additional functionality into the new CMS in phase 2 of the roll-out. Completion of the transition from the old CMS (which is still needed for most UPC CMS functions at the …
