Dr. Matthias Rottmann

Matthias Rottmann is an expert in the field of physical technology and, as a patent attorney at COHAUSZ & FLORACK, advises German and international clients on the filing, granting, defence, and enforcement of technical property rights.

While studying for his Master's degree in engineering physics at the Technical University of Munich, Matthias Rottmann acquired a broad technical understanding, which he complemented with specializations in the fields of thermophysics, renewable energies, and organic semiconductors. For his doctorate, he investigated heat transport in evacuated powder mixtures for the development of so-called vacuum superinsulations and worked on improving measurement methods for determining low thermal conductivities. At the same time, he led an R&D project tailored to his doctorate and funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs, which related to the application of the investigated insulation materials in high temperature heat stores as well as in processes of the metal and glass industries. 

From 2020 to 2023, Matthias Rottmann trained in IP law with COHAUSZ & FLORACK, spending additional training periods at Düsseldorf Regional Court, the German Patent and Trademark Office, and the Federal Patent Court in Munich. During his training, he assisted clients in the fields of metallurgy, battery technology, information and communication technology, and medical technology, among others. He has been admitted both as a German patent attorney and as a representative before the European Patent Office (EPO) in 2024. One year later, he has also been registered as a representative before the Unified Patent Court (UPC). 

Matthias Rottmann has been a patent attorney with the firm since 2024. He is an asset to the physics and electrical engineering teams with his in-depth legal and technical expertise.

He advises clients in German and English.
