Patentanwälte Bressel und Partner mbB

What Patentanwälte Bressel und Partner mbB does

Patentanwälte Bressel und Partner mbB is a Berlin-based intellectual property law firm founded in 1996, operating as a German registered partnership with limited professional liability (Partnerschaftsgesellschaft mit beschränkter Berufshaftung, mbB). The firm advises and represents clients across the full lifecycle of intellectual property protection — including patents, utility models, trademarks, designs, and domain/distinctiveness protection — at both the German Patent and Trademark Office (DPMA) and the European Patent Office (EPO), with international coverage extending to up to 152 states via the PCT route through a correspondent attorney network.

The firm operates with a team of six registered patent attorneys plus two patent attorney candidates and support staff, covering a wide technical spectrum that includes life sciences, biotechnology, energy production, electronics, electrical engineering, chemistry, materials science, process engineering, optics, telecommunications, and AI/machine learning. Beyond prosecution and registration, the firm conducts opposition and nullity proceedings, Freedom-to-Operate analyses, IP contract drafting (licenses, NDAs, material transfer agreements), and IP coaching targeted at SMEs, the latter eligible for up to 80% funding through the Berlin Coaching BONUS program.

Commercially, the firm operates a sales-led, professional services model generating fee-based revenue from individualized, case-specific engagements. It does not have disclosed pricing, public revenue figures, external investors, subsidiaries, or a parent company, and it acquires clients primarily through professional reputation, referrals, and its online presence (patentberlin.com). Its target clients are individual inventors, German SMEs/Mittelstand, and technology companies with significant R&D activity.
