Wirtschaftswoche TOP Kanzlei 2022
COHAUSZ & FLORACK is again recommended by the Wirtschaftswoche for the area of patent law.
Special mentioned: Dr. Arwed Burrichter and Dr. Christoph Walke

JUVE Patent Ranking 2022
“In impressive fashion, Cohausz & Florack demonstrated its place as one of the market’s leading patent attorney firms, both for patent prosecution and litigation. Its activity in numerous high-stakes suits in the life sciences and telecoms sectors stands out. Christoph Walke’s team remains highly visible on the side of SEP holders. Patent owners from the telecoms sector entrust the team with new and sometimes extensive series of proceedings against implementers. For instance, after the first wave of connected cars disputes – where Cohausz & Florack litigated for Nokia and Sharp against Daimler – the firm was again active in the second wave of suits, for IP Bridge against Ford. For Nokia, the firm is also conducting a large series of proceedings against Oppo over mobile communications patents. Due to the huge scale of activity, the SEP holders always hire other patent attorney firms for the technical aspects of the suit, alongside Cohausz & Florack."

JUVE Handbuch 2022/2023: Trademark and competition law
"The mixed IP firm with a focus on patent law also advises many clients on trademark law and has thus also established itself in soft IP. C&F is known primarily for its work in formal trademark law, with a focus on trademark administration, including opposition proceedings and strategic advice. There is also close integration with the strong patents practice. Clients such as LG, Bugatti and Harley-Davidson have long remained loyal to the firm in soft IP. An internal partner appointment recently showed how well the area is developing."
