GULDE & PARTNER Patent- und Rechtsanwaltskanzlei mbB

We protect your innovation — and your market share.

Europe is one of the world's largest markets, and Germany is where most patent disputes on the continent are decided. Getting protection right here shapes how far your product can travel.

Gulde & Partner is a German patent and law firm headquartered in Berlin, with offices in Düsseldorf, Dresden, Munich and Hamburg, and contact offices in New York, Yokohama and Beijing. Eight partners lead a team of more than 60 professionals — patent attorneys, attorneys-at-law, engineers and scientists — including colleagues from Korea, China, Japan, India, Israel, Ireland, Poland and Austria. We have grown steadily since 1990.

We secure patents, trademarks and designs in Germany and across Europe, defend them when competitors attack them, and enforce them in court when someone copies. We are among the ten largest filers at the European Patent Office and have litigated IP disputes for more than 35 years.

That combination is the point: because we both obtain patents and fight over them, we draft yours with enforcement in mind from day one — so your protection is ready to use as soon as the patent is granted.

Our teams work across display technology, electronics, telecommunications, software, semiconductors, automotive and chemistry/pharmaceuticals.

Independent legal directories — Legal 500, Chambers Europe and JUVE Patent — consistently rank Gulde & Partner among Germany's leading IP firms.

We would be glad to discuss your plans for Europe.
