PROFESSIONAL PROFILE |

Dr. René Günther is a German and European patent attorney. He advices and represents his clients in various industries before the German and European patent offices, the European Union IP-Office (EUIPO), the Federal Patent Court and the Federal Court of Justice (in patent nullity proceedings). In patent infringement proceedings he regularly cooperates with specialized attorneys at law before the competent civil courts in Germany. In trademark and design cases he frequently appears before court together with BETTEN & RESCH´s attorneys at law. In his practice, René combines technical and non-technical IP rights in order to attain the maximum protection for his clients. He therefore advises clients not only with respect to technical protective rights such as patents and utility models but also integrates additional measures such as obtaining trademarks and designs. As one of only few German patent attorneys fluent in the Dutch language, he closely cooperates in all fields of IP law with Dutch clients and their attorneys.
