Marius Fischer
Dr. jur. (Ph.D. in Law), M.Sc. (Physics)
In addition to drafting patent applications and assisting our clients in examination proceedings before the European Patent Office and the German Patent and Trademark Office, Marius Fischer frequently handles opposition, appeal, and nullity proceedings as well as infringement issues.
Marius Fischer can draw on extensive technical know-how gained during his studies of physics and his time as a developer at a successful Munich-based start-up on the one hand, and on profound knowledge of patent law acquired during his doctorate and his professional work in this very field on the other. As Head of IP at said start-up, he also learned what really makes for great advice from a client’s point of view, and he leverages this knowledge to always offer the best support possible, whatever the issue.
Marius Fischer's technical specializations include electrical engineering, information technology as well as physics in general and telecommunications and semiconductor technology in particular; however, he also often works in the fields of sporting goods and medical technology. Given his studies and doctorate, he is well versed in nanotechnology, too.

I’m an enthusiast for both law and technology. Therefore, I turned to patent law early, completing a Ph.D. in this field while setting up IP management structures at a successful tech start-up. This experience helps me assess each case from every angle, especially that of our clients.
