Our law firm maintains professional liability insurance with Allianz Versicherung-AG, D - 10900 Berlin (https://www.allianz.de).
Patent attorneys are prohibited from representing conflicting interests by professional regulations. Therefore, before accepting a mandate, we check whether there is a conflict of interests.
We are not legally obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. We therefore ask for your understanding that we generally exclude our participation in such dispute resolution proceedings.
