Our patent law firm WS^{PATENT ®} was founded in 1994 by Dr. Wolfram Schlimme. We advise and represent small and medium-sized domestic and foreign businesses and internationally active corporations, concentrating on the fields of patent, design, and trademark law.

brandeur^® is the service mark we use for counseling our clients before a trademark application has been filed, namely during the developmental phase of selecting names, pictorial signs and slogans earmarked to become trademarks. We provide this branding advice in close cooperation with the client company's marketing department and the advertising agency working for the company.

Our Core Competency
Wolfram Schlimme studied Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany and obtained a university degree (Diplomingenieur) and then a doctorate there. Parallel to his research activities, he studied Business Administration & Ergonomics along with Economics at the Technical University of Munich, graduating with a university degree in Business Administration and Engineering (Diplom-Wirtschaftsingenieur). Marketing and strategic planning were his main fields of interest. His subsequent training to become a German and European patent attorney was followed by a course of studies alongside work that led to a Master of Laws degree (LL.M.) from the FernUni Hagen, a distance teaching university.
