European Patent Support for Physics-Based Innovations
Physics-driven technologies form the foundation of many key industries, including semiconductors, energy systems, sensing technologies, and emerging fields such as nanotechnology and quantum engineering.
For international companies, securing strong and enforceable patent protection in Europe is essential to protect innovation and enable market access.
DTS ist a trusted European partner for foreign patent attorneys and international clients seeking experienced representation in European and German patent matters in the field of physics and related technologies.
We regularly assist clients who have already filed first applications in jurisdictions such as the United States or Japan and are now pursuing protection before the European Patent Office (EPO), the German Patent and Trademark Office (GPTO) or the Swiss Patent Office (IGE).
Technical Expertise in Physics and Related Fields
Our patent attorneys and patent engineers have strong academic backgrounds in physics and extensive experience in handling technically complex subject matter.
We frequently work with inventions in areas such as:
- semiconductor and microelectronic technologies
- sensing and measurement systems
- acoustics and signal processing
- radar, LiDAR and optical systems
- nanotechnology and quantum technologies
- energy technologies (e.g. batteries, photovoltaics, fuel cells)
Given the cross-disciplinary nature of many physics-based inventions, our team provides integrated expertise across multiple tecnical domains.
Our Services for International Clients and Foreign Associates
We provide efficient and reliable support, in particular with:
- entering the European phase based on foreign priority applications
- drafting and prosecuting European patent applications before the EPO
- managing examination, opposition, and appeal proceedings
- coordinating national validations and post-grant strategies in Europe
- Freedom-to-Operate analyses and third-party rights assessments
- enforcement and defense of patent rights in Germany, including litigation support
From the outset, we ensure that patent applications are drafted with Euopean practice in mind, allowing for flexibility during examination and in later opposition or validity proceedings.
