Thomas Maier - Patent Attorney and Partner at EHF Intellectual Property
Dr. rer. nat. Thomas Maier Physicist

    For me, being a patent attorney means …
    to have the great opportunity to assist my clients in legal aspects on their exciting way from a good idea towards commercial benefit.

    When clients choose EHF, they …
    have found a competent and reliable partner for all IP issues.

    After work …
    I love to spend my time by the water or in the mountains.

    When I was younger I wanted to be …
    a professional soccer player.

    An invention I’m still waiting for is …
    the frameless tennis racket with full-area sweet spot. I’d buy it right away.
