3 Who We Are The Munich Office Services Ranking Fish & Richardson As one of the world s premier intellectual property and litigation firms, Fish & Richardson has a reputation among the science and technology communities for work of the highest quality. Fish & Richardson a global IP powerhouse Bell s telephone. Edison s lightbulb. The Wright brothers airplane. These are just some of the milestones that have marked the more than 130-year partnership between Fish & Richardson and its clients. The firm has represented great innovators before they were successful and famous when they were entrepreneurs with innovative ideas and a drive to succeed. Since its beginnings in 1878, the firm has grown into an IP powerhouse, representing today s visionaries in technology, business and the arts while boasting a client list that ranges from individual inventors to top-tier multinational corporations. With more than 350 attorneys in 11 offices, we offer unique resources for 21st-century entrepreneurs. Yet we remain one firm with a common vision across a diverse practice. We are a leader in intellectual property law. The firm s office in Munich, home to the European and German patent offices as well as the German Federal Patent Court, is positioned to help us serve our clients in European IP matters. The Munich attorneys handle patent prosecution and patent litigation matters, in particular litigations before the District Court Düsseldorf and the District Court Mannheim, EPO opposition cases, and German nullity cases. The Munich attorneys also serve clients in trademark, design, unfair competition and antitrust matters Frederick P. Fish opens the law firm of Wadleigh & Fish in Boston Fish successfully represents Alexander Graham Bell in more than 600 telephone patent cases 1887 The US Supreme Court upholds Bell s telephone patent in a decision that fills an entire volume of Supreme Court reports

4 Who We Are The Munich Office Services Ranking The Fish & Richardson Office in Munich The Munich office an IP powerhouse in Europe offering services in all fields of intellectual property and in all technological fields. The Munich office is Fish & Richardson s first office outside the United States. With the largest economy in the European Union, Germany is a key market for innovative companies seeking to sell products internationally, and therefore it is an important place to protect intellectual property. Munich is home to the European and German patent offices as well as the German Federal Patent Court. The Fish & Richardson office in Munich is geographically well-suited to serve clients regardless of their unique patent filing needs. In litigation matters, the Munich attorneys represent clients predominantly before the District Court Düsseldorf, the District Court Mannheim, and the appeal courts in Düsseldorf and Karlsruhe. The Munich attorneys also have significant experience handling nullity appeal matters before the Federal Supreme Court Karlsruhe. The Munich team includes attorneys and technology specialists, as well as paralegals, and plans to grow by 20% per year. They cooperate in a seamless and cost-efficient manner with the US attorneys of the firm and have technical depth in all technological fields (mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, medical devices, software inventions, chemistry, pharmaceuticals and biotech). Within three years of opening the Munich office in October 2007, the Munich team had handled more than 1,800 EP applications, more than 60 EPO opposition proceedings, five German nullity matters and 20 litigation matters William K. Richardson joins firm 1893 Charles Neave joins firm 1895 The US Supreme Court upholds Thomas A. Edison s lightbulb patent b Fish sends Neave to New York to open a branch office

5 The Munich Principals Fast, efficient and powerful the greatest Fish in the sea Dr. Frank Peterreins is the Managing Principal of the Munich office. Dr. Peterreins has a wide-ranging prosecution and litigation practice, including EPO opposition cases and German nullity cases. He is qualified in Germany as an attorney-at-law and a patent attorney and is also a European patent attorney. He is one of only a handful of attorneys in Germany who hold all these qualifications. Before becoming an attorney, Dr. Peterreins was a patent examiner with the European Patent Office and a member of an EPO Opposition Division. Dr. Jan-Malte Schley is a Principal in the Munich office of Fish & Richardson. His practice emphasizes patent litigation and patent prosecution. Before becoming a patent attorney, he was a development engineer for nonvolatile memory cells, especially NROM, with Infineon Technologies. During his studies in electrical engineering, Dr. Schley spent a semester at the Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Dr. Jan Zecher is a Principal in the Munich office of Fish & Richardson. He is a member of the firm s Trademark Group. Dr. Zecher has several years of law firm experience in intellectual property and has advised German, European and US companies in a wide variety of trademark, domain name, design patent and advertising matters. Prior to his law firm work ( ), he was a scientific assistant at the Institute for Copyright and Media Law in Munich Fish takes leave from law practice to serve as president of AT&T 1907 Fish is offered but declines the presidency of MIT 05

6 Who We Are The Munich Office Services Ranking Patent Litigation Patent Litigation Patent Prosecution EPO Oppositions Trademarks Thinking in business terms, we help our clients exploit their IP to achieve economic goals. Fish & Richardson has a global litigation practice and a proven record of successfully handling high-tech, high-stakes matters. We are particularly devoted to addressing these aspects on behalf of our clients through our Munich office. The Munich office provides all the services a client could wish for when litigating patents in German courts, including parallel invalidation proceedings at the Federal Patent Court and EPO. The trial skills of our patent litigators are enriched by a broad and deep technical patent expertise an expertise that sets us apart from general practice firms. We recognize that the only purpose of litigation is to achieve the client s specific business objectives. We prepare every case with those business objectives in mind, whereby particular consideration is given to international implications of patent disputes that may flow from the US into the European markets, or vice versa. When we can best serve our clients by resolving disputes short of trial, we do so. Thanks to a close collaboration between litigators of the Munich office and those of other offices of Fish & Richardson, we can implement a one-stop international strategy that includes parallel coordinated proceedings in the US and in Europe. Such concerted and coordinated actions put our clients in an excellent position to achieve their worldwide business goals. Why Fish & Richardson in Europe? Germany is the top jurisdiction in Europe for bringing patent enforcement actions. When a patent is infringed anywhere in Europe, patent owners are presented with a number of strategic considerations. It is theoretically possible to bring parallel enforcement actions in different European countries simultaneously. Typically, however, a single jurisdiction is selected, with the goal of obtaining a favorable Europewide, or even worldwide, settlement. In recent years, the jurisdiction of choice has been Germany, chosen nearly four times as often as the second most active patent dispute jurisdiction in Europe. The most important reasons are the expertise and reputation of German courts, followed by the speed and low costs of proceedings in Germany Fish helps Wright brothers prevail over Glenn Curtiss in an infringement case involving the 1906 flying machine patent, leading the firm to create its full-time Patent Prosecution Group 1930 Fish dies; during his career, he appeared in more patent cases before the US Supreme Court than any other lawyer 1951 William K. Richardson dies

7 Expertise and reputation. Infringement actions are filed in the district courts, with the courts in Mannheim and Düsseldorf accounting for more than 70 percent of Germany s infringement cases. Due to the significant number of cases handled each year by these courts, they have particular expertise in patent matters. This expertise is recognized in Europe and throughout the world. The reputation of German courts can place a prevailing party in a good position to negotiate Europe-wide license agreements. Speed. Another advantageous characteristic is the speed of German patent litigation proceedings. In most cases, an enforceable ruling can be expected in 12 months, or even in seven to eight months with the District Court Mannheim, in the typical case where no court expert is appointed. Costs. German patent enforcement proceedings are generally cost-efficient. The costly pretrial discovery proceedings typical of US trials are not present in German proceedings. This is not to suggest that discovery is unavailable. In addition, there are no jury trials in patent infringement cases in Germany, and inequitable conduct defenses do not exist. Trying matters before a German judge necessarily limits time expenditure and counsel costs. Domino effect. Winning in Germany tends to have a domino effect within other jurisdictions, and a German enforcement strategy often dovetails with parallel enforcement actions in the US and elsewhere. The strong reputation of German courts generally places the prevailing party in a good position to negotiate a Europe-wide settlement. Customs actions. A further important aspect, which is not always sufficiently considered in an overall international strategy, is that Germany has its own procedure for border seizure by German customs authorities. Seizures are generally straightforward and very costefficient, and they tend to be particularly useful in patent infringement cases. Without having to prove infringement, a patent owner can obtain a detention order, seizing goods at the border and putting considerable pressure on the accused infringer. Subsequent court proceedings will decide whether the goods should be released. Thus, customs actions have become an important strategic tool for combating patent infringement in cross-border trade The Boston and New York offices separate into two firms, with the Boston office taking the name Fish & Richardson 1986 Fish & Richardson helps Dyonics obtain the first patent awarded for an instrument used in arthroscopic surgery, helps Salomon and Carlos Hakim obtain patents for programmable cerebrospinal fluid, and helps Bose obtain a patent for Pressure Wave Transducing technology used in its WAVE radio 07

8 Who We Are The Munich Office Services Ranking Patent Litigation Patent Prosecution EPO Oppositions Trademarks Patent Prosecution Our seasoned patent prosecutors are experts in EP and US prosecution. We help our clients protect their innovations and generate the best possible IP assets. The Munich team of Fish & Richardson serves more than 100 clients in patent prosecution matters. Our clients range from individual inventors and small start-ups to global players such as Boston Scientific and Google. The number of applications filed per year, which at present exceeds 500, is continuously increasing. Fish & Richardson s Munich office provides comprehensive services covering all aspects of preparing and obtaining European, PCT and German applications, patents and utility models. The Munich team is staffed with European and German as well as US patent attorneys. Combining experience and knowledge originating from multiple jurisdictions allows us to provide a truly international service to our clients. Fish & Richardson develops and assists clients in patent portfolio planning and filing strategies aligned with their global business goals. Patent applications are drafted in consideration of the target market. Whether the main business focus of an application is, for example, Europe, Asia, the US or all of these, will result in the application featuring a different style tailored to the legal framework of the respective jurisdiction. We offer the resources of a global IP powerhouse, the expertise of a boutique and the personal service that comes with a local presence. Because of the depth, breadth and variety of their technological and legal experience, our attorneys are immediately familiar with virtually any technology. Having attorneys with strong technical backgrounds and university degrees spanning all fields of technology, Dr. Amar G. Bose and William R. Short of Fish & Richardson s client Bose Corporation are named IPO Inventors of the Year for a compact, high-efficiency loudspeaker system incorporated in the Acoustic WAVE music system and WAVE radio 1988 Fish & Richardson obtains the first patent on an animal: the Harvard mouse for Harvard University

9 we serve a large variety of clients with respect to the following: mechanical engineering electrical engineering medical devices software inventions chemistry pharmaceuticals biotech As part of our patent practice, we work with our clients to evaluate how their intellectual property assets fit into their business strategy, so that investments made in IP protection yield the highest possible return. Investors recognize the importance of a well-managed IP portfolio and understand that unrecognized or unprotected assets represent lost value for shareholders. Our patent portfolio strategies and strategic counseling services help our clients avoid potential litigation, capture the full value of intangible assets and maximize the return on these investments. Our clients draw on the wealth of our experience across industries to find the best strategy to meet their own business goals. Intellectual property protection is a crucial part of each client s overall business strategy. In addition to patent prosecution, our attorneys provide patent portfolio planning and analysis and advice on strategic planning and opinions including freedom-to-use, infringement, validity and patentability opinions. We also offer patent-related analysis of competitive and other thirdparty positions, and patent portfolio analysis and due diligence in connection with financing, evaluation and acquisition of technology Fish & Richardson, with 25 attorneys in one office, begins national expansion 1991 Fish & Richardson wins $129 million for 3M in a patent and trade secrets case against Johnson & Johnson Orthopedics 09

10 Who We Are The Munich Office Services Ranking Patent Litigation Patent Prosecution EPO Oppositions Trademarks EPO Oppositions and German Nullity Actions Comment by a client after two victories in EPO oppositions in one week: Thank you for everything. You have a great team: intelligent, legally skilled and technically skilled, and they work together well. I think we had productive discussions and put together strong cases by open discussions and brainstorming. The attorneys of Fish & Richardson s Munich office have extensive deep experience handling oppositions and appeals before the European Patent Office, as well as German nullity actions before the German Federal Patent Court and the German Federal Supreme Court. We are equally experienced in handling oppositions and appeals relating to German national patents and in handling cancellation proceedings relating to German utility models. We routinely handle more than 60 opposition matters at a time before the European Patent Office. As a result of the recognized outstanding quality of our representation, attorneys from our office are frequently invited or recommended as lecturers by members of the European Patent Office. Managing Partner Dr. Frank Peterreins has handled more than 100 EPO opposition matters. He is qualified as a European patent attorney and a German attorney-at-law, and with his experience as a former member of an EPO Opposition Division, he is one of the top attorneys in this field. Our successful efforts have resulted in leading decisions of the German Federal Supreme Court, such as BGH Formteil and BGH Zylinderrohr.

Inter partes proceedings are a sub stantial part of the daily work for each patent attorney in our office.

Our clients benefit because we can provide a highly efficient and effective service, always making sure that the strategies for both infringement and validity proceedings are perfectly matched to our clients objectives Fish & Richardson wins a patent case for Adobe Systems Incorporated against Quantel, Ltd., cited by The National Law Journal as one of the most significant defense verdicts of the year 1999 Fish & Richardson wins an infringement settlement from Amazon.com for Amazon Bookstore, an independent feminist bookstore in business since 1970, and successfully defends Chroma Technology Corp. in the largest-ever Vermont trade secrets case, a victory affirmed by the Vermont Supreme Court 11

12 Who We Are The Munich Office Services Ranking Patent Litigation Patent Prosecution EPO Oppositions Trademarks Trademarks and Designs We are often referred to as a firm of choice for trademark matters by the world s largest corporations. Our trademark clients own some of the world s most recognizable brands, including BOSE, CALLAWAY GOLF, EHARMONY, ING DIRECT and STEINWAY. Trademarks Recent years have seen very positive developments in Europe for trademark owners from the US. The European Community trademark system brought a unique opportunity for fast, efficient and cost-effective cross-border trademark protection and litigation in a market of nearly 500 million people. With courts specializing in trademark matters and the possibility of serving and enforcing German court decisions in other member states of the European Union, Germany is an ideal jurisdiction for cross-border trademark litigation in Europe. Trademark owners also can benefit from the efficiency and reliability of the German customs authorities in initiating customs actions against counterfeits and knockoff products in all member states of the EU. Leading trademark firm in the US Fish & Richardson is a leading trademark firm in the United States, filing more than 500 US trademark applications per year. We manage large, international trademark portfolios for well-known corporations and assist emerging companies in developing and safeguarding their brands. Among the trademarks handled by our firm are many well-known brands from a wide range of industries, including automotive, banking, computer software, consumer electronics, entertainment, food and semiconductors. Thanks to Fish & Richardson s Munich office, our clients now can benefit from the efficiency of the firm s cutting-edge trademark management technology for their trademark needs in Europe. Cutting-edge trademark management technology Fish & Richardson offers its clients access to its FishLink portal, a secure, password-protected web site that combines a trademark database and docketing system with a powerful electronic document management system. The Fish & Richardson wins summary judgment for Marconi Communications in a patent infringement case against Bell Communications Research, one of the year s most significant defense wins, and helps Repligen acquire patent rights for use of secretin in treating autism 2005 Fish & Richardson wins The National Law Journal s Top Defense Wins for defending Microsoft s smart tag technology b IP Law & Business acknowledges Fish & Richardson as the US firm handling the most patent litigation

13 FishLink system allows clients to view their trademark portfolios, look up upcoming deadlines, and check the status of pending opposition and cancellation proceedings worldwide. Clients can also view and print different reports and all incoming correspondence and documents. The FishLink portal is updated daily, so clients can use it 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Germany ideal for trademark litigation in Europe Germany is an ideal jurisdiction for trademark litigation in Europe. There are reliable courts specializing in trademark matters. Preliminary decisions are rendered in days, while main decisions are decided on their merits in nine to 12 months. The high number of published court decisions makes rulings by and large predictable compared to those of smaller European countries. The cost risk (including the other side s attorney costs) is calculable and rather low compared to other European jurisdictions. Cross-border trademark litigation is possible in many cases when actions are based on European Community trademarks. Designs Similar to European Community trademarks, European Community designs provide a unique opportunity for quick and successful cross-border design protection in the EU. With no substantive examination during prosecution and a presumption of validity, European Community designs can be a powerful tool for protecting product features, at a fraction of the cost of national design patents. Thanks to their nature as unitary Community rights, European Community designs not only allow clients to obtain cross-border court decisions, but they are also an ideal basis for requesting customs action against counterfeits and knockoff products imported into the European Union Managing Intellectual Property names Fish & Richardson the largest IP firm in the world b The Vault Guide to the Top 100 Law Firms ranks Fish & Richardson as the firm with the Best Intellectual property practice b IP Law & Business and IP Law360 surveys show Fish & Richardson as #1 in patent litigation b Atlanta office opens 13
