个人详细资料
二十多年来，Gottfried Schüll 一直是世界顶尖的专利律师之一。 他制定的执法策略使得专利所有者能够成功地将其专利组合货币化； 曾代表各种规模的国际客户就信息和通信技术、电子和半导体领域的重大案件提起诉讼； 并获准在欧盟统一专利法院、德国联邦最高法院、德国联邦专利法院以及德国和欧洲专利局执业。
他从一开始就大量参与了基于标准必要专利 (SEP) 的专利侵权诉讼。 视频压缩（MPEG-2、AVC/H.264、HEVC/H.265）和通信技术（TCP/IP、NFC、4G、DSL）相关的 SEP 所有者在 20 多年来在针对其技术使用者的复杂诉讼中都依赖他的建议。
基于此成功实施 SEP 的经验，基于 HEVC/H.265 SEP 的侵权诉讼在 2023 年以智能手机和电视的全球市场领导者获得专利组合许可而告终。 以及自 2015 年以来，基于 AVC/H.264 SEP 针对中国最大的智能手机和电视制造商进行了成功的实施活动，为 Via Licensing Alliance 的相应许可计划做出了贡献，被视为是 SEP 许可的黄金标准。
Gottfried Schüll 担任过 750 多起专利纠纷和无效诉讼案件的首席律师。
Gottfried Schüll 作为演讲嘉宾出席各种专业活动，并撰写了许多有关德国和欧洲 SEP 部门的文章。 他一直是 COHAUSZ & FLORACK 团队合伙人，时间长达 20 多年。
