IAM Patent 1000 (2024)

GEISTWERT is top of the class for patent litigation in Austria. Although domestic and international clients in the life sciences account for most of the workload, the practice is also approached by leading figures in the electronics and mechanics fields. Recently Constantin Kletzer, Rainer Schultes and Alexander Schnider have been representing Teletan in an infringement case regarding the patented authentication system on its online payment authorisation platform. “Constantin is one of the best IP lawyers in Austria. He has an incredible knowledge of patent matters, and he is both fast and reliable.” “Rainer is direct, clever and always prepared”; and “Alexander delivers rock-solid advice in a very enjoyable and educational manner”. Completing the line-up, Juliane Messner and Max Mosing effortlessly handle complex contracts. Together they have been working with IPAG, a Universities Austria project in which Austrian universities and companies created a set of model agreements to assist the effective transfer of knowledge and technology. Austrian universities and businesses collaborate to create standard contracts, which are then evaluated and commented on by legal professionals.
