Daniel Herrmann advises start-ups, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large corporations, both domestic and foreign, in the field of intellectual property law, in particular regarding patents, utility models and employee invention law. He focuses on the development and defence of global patent portfolios for his clients with an emphasis on medical technology, computer-implemented inventions (emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence), 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, and he coordinates patent filings globally. 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 protection strategies for SMEs in context of market expansion. Also, he regularly gives talks at entrepreneur networks and at business incubators, such as about patent filing strategies and mitigating patent infringement risks in Germany.
Daniel Herrmann studied physics at the University of Mainz, the University of Würzburg, and the University of Texas at Austin (USA), where he also obtained his Master’s degree. 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.
In 2012, he began his training as a German and European patent attorney in a Munich-based internationally operating US law firm. Daniel Herrmann joined BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT in 2015. 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.
