New partners at Cohausz & Florack: Dr. Romina Kühnle and Dr. Peter Reckenthäler

 

Düsseldorf, January 18, 2023 – On January 1, 2023, Cohausz & Florack (C&F) added two new partners to the team, Dr. Romina Kühnle and Dr. Peter Reckenthäler. The appointments further expand the firm’s IP expertise in key technical areas.

Dr. Romina Kühnle is an expert in the fields of chemistry, materials science, pharmaceuticals, and life sciences, with particular experience in polymer chemistry, materials and pharmaceutical chemistry. After studying chemistry at the Philipps-Universität Marburg specializing in polymer chemistry, she completed her doctorate at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam and at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in the field of self-organization of peptide-polymer conjugates. She has been a patent attorney at C&F since 2017 and had previously completed her patent attorney training at the firm.

“Awareness of the importance of pharmaceutical and chemical research has risen significantly in our society in recent years. The field of chemistry & life sciences is also growing in importance for us as a firm,” says Dr. Natalie Kirchhofer, patent attorney and partner at C&F. “We are delighted to be able to further strengthen and build on this area with Dr. Romina Kühnle as a partner and established expert.”

Dr. Peter Reckenthäler holds a PhD in physics and is a member of C&F’s electrical engineering team, where he primarily advises clients from the mobile communications sector. He studied physics at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Bonn and at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain) and held a scholarship at the International Max Planck Research School of Advanced Photon Science. His technical expertise therefore includes general physics, optics, laser technology, and the field of semiconductors and LEDs. Dr. Peter Reckenthäler worked for several years in renowned Munich firms before joining the C&F team as a patent attorney in 2019 – and has now also been named a partner: “A win for our firm,” emphasizes Dr. Christoph Walke, patent attorney and partner at C&F, “especially for the patent-intensive field of electrical engineering.”
