BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT appoints four new partners
Munich, 19 January 2026 – IP law firm BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT is starting 2026 by expanding its partnership with four patent attorney experts. With immediate effect, Dr. Hanno Flentje and Dr. Michael Lohse at the Munich site, Jan Göring in Bremen and Dr. Adrian Steffens in Berlin will take on joint responsibility for the firm’s technical fields.
“With the appointment of Hanno Flentje, Jan Göring, Michael Lohse and Adrian Steffens to our partnership, our firm is exceptionally well positioned for the future. All four are recognized experts in their respective fields, bringing outstanding technical know‑how in forward‑looking areas of technology and a clear understanding of our clients’ needs. At the same time, this step marks a continuation of our generational transition and secures the exceptional quality of our advice across multiple locations for the decades to come,” says Dr. Daniel Herrmann, Chair of the Business Development Committee at BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT.
Dr. Hanno Flentje, based in Munich, specializes in physics, semiconductor technology and optics. He also works extensively in the fields of quantum technology, artificial intelligence, electrical engineering, manufacturing and information technology, as well as consumer goods. He is responsible for drafting patent applications and prosecuting them before the German Patent and Trade Mark Office (DPMA) and the European Patent Office (EPO). In addition, he regularly represents clients in opposition, nullity and patent litigation proceedings.
From Bremen, Diplom‑Ingenieur Jan Göring advises international corporations, medium‑sized enterprises and start‑ups on the full spectrum of IP management — from tailored patent strategies to the development and stewardship of comprehensive IP portfolios. Drawing on several years of experience as in‑house patent counsel, he brings strong practical industry insight and covers the entire field of mechatronics with a particular focus on mechanical engineering. He also dedicates his work to advancing concepts for modern decarbonized mobility and developing technical solutions for disaster response and civil protection.
Diplom‑Physiker Dr. Michael Lohse focuses primarily on drafting patent applications and prosecuting them before the DPMA and the EPO. He also represents clients in patent infringement and validity proceedings, including before the Unified Patent Court. His technical expertise spans physics, optics, medical technology, semiconductor and electrical engineering, IT and quantum technology. In addition, he is involved in projects within the automotive sector. Alongside globally operating corporations, he advises small and medium‑sized enterprises as well as university spin‑offs.
New partner Dr. Adrian Steffens supports companies in filing German and international patents and utility models and represents them in opposition, nullity and patent litigation proceedings. His technical expertise includes software and IT, quantum technology, physics, signal processing and medical technology. He has been part of the BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT team in Berlin since 2018 and – like all newly appointed partners – is authorized to represent clients before the Unified Patent Court.
