Work with me
Thank you for your interest in working with me!
Please kindly note that currently the majority of my work is helping patent attorney candidates prepare for the EQE (European patent attorney qualifying) exams, so my availability for traditional patent attorney work is limited.
Patent application drafting
European patent prosecution, in particular patent application drafting is what I love most from the traditional patent attorney work.
I often assist European patent firms with patent application drafting (mechanical) when they have overflow work.
Would you like to work with me?
European patent validation
Do you need a cost-effective and time saving solution for European patent validation?
I handled more than 1400 validations for patent proprietors and patent firms. I know the rules of the 38 EPC states by heart.
To work with me on your validation cases for any of the 38 EPC states, please place your order on Passport. We developed Passport with Pintz & Partners IP firm in 2018 in order to make the administration more streamlined.
You can register on Passport for free. After entering your patent number, the software will automatically calculate all the fees for the chosen countries in less than a second. The fee structure is transparent, you will see the official, service and translation fees separately.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!

European patent application timeline with expected costs
The European patent grant procedure lasts about two to five years from when the application is filed. In this rather long article you will find all the steps, deadlines and fees that occur during the process.
Validation is an administrative but a mandatory step after the grant of your European patent. It is the process of registering your patent at the national patent offices of the Contracting States where you would like to own an enforceable right.
