Since November 2019 she has strengthened the chemistry, pharmaceuticals and life sciences team at C&F, where she is primarily involved in patent opposition and infringement proceedings.

He completed his training to become a patent attorney at C&F and since April has been supporting the mechanical engineering team of C&F in all matters of intellectual property rights. "We are experiencing mechanical engineering to be an innovative, growth-oriented branch, and in Felipe von Heereman have found an expert with whom we can strengthen and expand our competence in this field", says Hans-Joachim Meyer, patent attorney and partner at C&F.
