practice areas.
Michael Eder advises German and foreign clients in all aspects of intellectual property, with an emphasis in the areas of pharmaceuticals, protein biochemistry, and industrial chemistry. His scientific background includes the fields of biophysical, organic und inorganic chemistry, as well as molecular biology. An important part of his practice relates to the drafting, prosecution and coordination of European and German patent applications, particularly in the area of pharmaceutical chemistry and protein biochemistry. Dr. Eder is furthermore responsible for numerous opposition proceedings before the EPO and has been involved in a number of national and multinational patent litigation cases. Another main focus of his work lies in rendering patent validity and infringement opinions in connection with freedom-to-operate und due diligence projects, as well as counselling clients in matters relating to supplementary protection certificates (SPCs) for pharmaceuticals in Europe.
