Boehmert & Boehmert

What Boehmert & Boehmert does

Boehmert & Boehmert is a German law firm specializing in intellectual property, headquartered in Bremen and operating since the early 1930s under the legal form Anwaltspartnerschaft mbB. The firm offers integrated IP services across patents and utility models, trademarks, designs, copyright, employee inventions, data protection, IT law, licensing, product piracy, domain law, anti-trust, unfair competition and patent valuation. It is distinguished as one of the few German firms offering combined representation by both legally qualified attorneys and technically qualified patent attorneys 'aus einer Hand' (from one source), supported by interdisciplinary teams of more than 90 IP experts.

The firm operates nine offices across four countries: six in Germany (Berlin, Bielefeld, Bremen, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Munich), plus Alicante (Spain, near EUIPO), Paris (France) and Shanghai (China, near Asian IP filing corridors). Offices are deliberately positioned near key European IP institutions: Düsseldorf for patent litigation, Munich for the DPMA and European Patent Office, and Alicante for the EUIPO. The firm serves large international corporations, German Mittelstand SMEs, inventors and individual creators, and creative professionals, with dedicated vertical expertise in chemicals, electrical engineering, pharmaceuticals/life sciences, software/IT, mechanical engineering, physics and the creative industries.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees governed by the German Act on Attorney Remuneration (RVG) for litigation matters and by individual Remuneration Agreements for transactional and advisory work. Client acquisition is driven by professional reputation, analyst rankings (FT, IP Stars, The Patent Lawyer, Best Lawyers), referrals, direct engagement with corporate IP departments, and thought-leadership content such as the B&B Bulletin newsletter and IP seminars. The firm has no publicly disclosed revenue, no funding events and no parent company; ownership and governance remain with the practicing partners.
