Dr. Thomas Pattloch, LL.M.Eur
Thomas heads the IP department of the China Group at Taylor Wessing and assists European and American companies in all aspects of intellectual property rights in China. He heads the international China Group of Taylor Wessing together with Christoph Hezel. His advice is characterised by established experience and a strong network in China.
Licensing law, technology and data transfer and R&D are as much a part of his practice as the dialogue with political decision makers. Furthermore, Thomas advises Chinese companies on market entry and litigation in Germany and the EU. These services and the strategically experienced representation in arbitration proceedings in and outside China illustrate the breadth of his expertise in IP and IT law.
