Financial Times: BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT again among the Leading Patent Law Firms 2024

26. June 2024/in Awards & Rankings

Listed in all six industry sectors.

Since 2019, the British business newspaper Financial Times has published an annual ranking of the most recommended patent law firms in Europe. As has been the case since the first publication, BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT was once again rated as a “Leading Patent Law Firm” in 2024.

Thanks to the patent attorneys’ broad expertise in the industrial sectors of Biotechnology, Food & Healthcare, Chemistry & Pharmacy, IT & Software, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering & Physics as well as Materials & Nano Technology, the full-service IP boutique was recommended for all six sectors surveyed.

The latest annual listing of the leading patent law firms in Europe is based on an online survey conducted by Financial Times research partner Statista. More than 10,000 patent attorneys working in patent law firms and corporate patent departments, as well as clients who have consulted or instructed a patent law firm, were asked to vote.

The list of the leading European law firms for patent prosecution and patent strategy consultation is freely available on the Financial Times website.

“No competitive relationship between airline and air passenger rights portal” – Article by Dr. Rudolf Böckenholt in GRUR-Prax 11/2024

10. June 2024/in Publications Unfair Competition

Dr. Rudolf Böckenholt discusses the decision of the Higher Regional Court of Hamburg of 14 March 2024, 5 U 132/22, GRUR-RS 2024, 6288 – Papierkrieg mit Airline, in the magazine of the publisher C.H.Beck.

In the current issue 11/2024 of “GRUR-Prax – Gewerblicher Rechtsschutz und Urheberrecht / Praxis im Immaterialgüter- und Wettbewerbsrecht”, BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT partner and attorney at law Dr. Rudolf Böckenholt explains a decision of the Higher Regional Court of Hamburg from March 14, 2024 (15 U 132/22, GRUR-RS 2024, 6288 – Papierkrieg mit Airline) on the question of whether a competitive relationship exists between offers from airlines and air passenger rights portals if both deal with the processing of claims for damages (e.g. due to delays or flight cancellations).

The court’s answer is: No!

The activities are neither similar nor interchangeable. The airline was fulfilling its duty as a debtor of claims under the Passenger Rights Regulation, whereas the Passenger Rights Portal offered legal services.
What sounds logical and comprehensible is currently highly controversial in case law, which is why the Higher Regional Court of Hamburg has also allowed an appeal to the Federal Court of Justice, which is actually being conducted there.

The full article in German by Dr. Rudolf Böckenholt entitled “No competitive relationship between airline and air passenger rights portal” can be found in the printed edition of GRUR-Prax 11/2024. Subscribers to Beck-Online may access the article here.
