Legal 500, 2018
I am a trial lawyer with a track record for developing successful litigation strategies. I love technology and science and finding ways to convey simple messages to the decision makers. In its 2019 edition, IAM wrote about me: “a defining individual in the world of German intellectual property” who’s “advocacy can flip the outcome of a case, which is precisely why he is so sought after.”
Andreas von Falck is part of our global Patent Litigation practice. He has an excellent track record in litigating patents in all areas of patent law but with a particular focus on the life sciences, chemical, and high-tech industries. Andreas has advised many of the world's leading companies in patent litigation in Germany and has had conduct of a vast number of cross border proceedings including all parts of Europe. In addition, he has had a number of remarkable wins in validity appeals before the German Federal Supreme Court.
As part of our multiple award winning global patent litigation practice, Andreas is recommended for patent litigation by Chambers Global World's Leading Lawyers, Who's Who Legal, Managing Intellectual Property, Legal 500, and JUVE, the leading German legal directory. Recognised for offering first class, innovative solutions, He is praised for his "analytical approach and availability" (Chambers 2018) and as "extremely knowledgeable and one of the top litigators in Germany, if not the top."(Chambers 2017)
