Wildanger has a remarkable and most successful track record in SEP enforcement and licensing, as well as in handling any sort of IP-litigation across industries at any level of complexity.
The firm was already focused on IP law when it was taken over in 1967 by Günther Wildanger, one of Germany’s best-known patent litigation attorneys. It played a decisive role in establishing Dusseldorf as a leading jurisdiction for patent and utility model litigation. A very high number of leading German decisions in the field of IP law, in particular patent law, involved cases handled by Wildanger.
All partners have set themselves apart in their own personal ways through their outstanding work, expertise and experience. They hold themselves to extremely high standards. The close-knit team of internationally experienced attorneys works closely together, sharing their knowledge and expertise – with effective results. The firm’s team is freely “scalable” to handle even large and complex litigation.

"What I particularly appreciate about Wildanger's IP litigation practice is the combination of technical precision and strategic clarity they bring to complex cases. Their team is highly experienced, especially in cross-border disputes, and they have a genuine ability to stay focused on the essentials while navigating dense issues."
"Outstanding technical and legal expertise, highly strategic approach especially in SEP/FRAND matters."
"Wildanger is a law firm comprised of attorneys who prioritize their clients’ interests above all else, and are capable of devising exceptional intellectual property strategies."
"The Wildanger team is the premier patent litigation firm in Germany. They bring tremendous knowledge of German national courts and the UPC to every case they handle. They are strategic thinkers as well as excellent trial lawyers."
"What distinguishes Wildanger is that even on highly complex matters, their practitioners maintain end-to-end responsibility rather than fragmenting the work across siloed teams. Each professional takes personal ownership of a case from inception through to resolution, which ensures both consistency in strategy and accountability in execution."
"High level of personal attention given to each matter. Communication is clear, responsive, and solution-oriented."
