    Daniel Herrmann advises start-ups, SMEs and large corporations, both domestic and foreign, in the field of intellectual property rights, in particular patents and utility models. He focuses on the development and defence of patent portfolios with an emphasis on computer-implemented inventions („emerging technologies“), medical devices, optics, electronics and mechanical engineering. In this context, he regularly represents clients in filing, opposition and appeal procedures before the European Patent Office (EPO), the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), the German Patent and Trade Mark Office (GPTO) and the Federal Patent Court in Germany. He also conducts patent infringement and nullity proceedings before the German courts and he performs searches and freedom-to-operate analyses.

    One focus of his practice lies in the development of optimized national, european and international patent protection strategies for inventions of start-ups at the foundation of the enterprise and market expansion. In this context, he regularly advises start-ups within the scope of international entrepreneur networks and at business incubators in Germany, in particular in the Rhine-Main region.

He obtained a PhD in physics in 2011 at the Ludwig-Maximilian-University of Munich. During his dissertation, he worked on the generation of ultrafast laser pulses and used them to resolve photo-induced charge processes in novel organic solar cells via ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy.

He was admitted as a professional representative before the European Patent Office in 2015, and was admitted as a German patent attorney after his training in January 2016.
