Professional biography
Patent Attorney Dr. Martin Schlosser began studying physics in Augsburg and continued at the University of Lund (Sweden). He then moved to the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, where he graduated from the Chair of BioMolecular Optics with a thesis on energy transfer processes between dyes that he analyzed using femtosecond spectroscopy. He earned his doctorate in electrical engineering as a research assistant at the Chair for Microsystems Technology at the University of the German Federal Armed Forces in Neubiberg. He developed new concepts for semiconductor components and dealt with measurement technology and analysis. He studied business administration at the Private University of Applied Sciences Göttingen. He not only acquired the basic business concepts and strategies for corporate management, but also worked on two papers on standard-essential patents and financial aspects of intellectual property rights. In doing so, he specifically prepared to provide competent advice to companies regarding commercially successful use of intellectual property rights. Martin Schlosser began working in the field of intellectual property law already during his studies in 2003 as a technical consultant and translator for patent attorneys and attorneys-at-law, before training to become a patent attorney at the large German IP firm Eisenführ Speiser. Other relevant traning included the 7th civil chamber of the Mannheim Regional Court, the German Patent and Trademark Office, and the German Federal Patent Court. With an accompanying degree in general law at the Distance Learning University in Hagen, he also acquired the corresponding legal qualification. In addition, he qualified as European Patent Attorney. In 2013, Martin Schlosser started his own IP law firm and has since then worked for companies of all sizes, primarily on patent and trademark cases. His broad technical expertise covers electrical and mechanical engineering, automotive technology, semiconductors, physics, automation, and software including artificial intelligence. In addition to patent and trademark prosecution, he also successfully performs contradictory cases and helps clients with acquiring funding, investors, cooperation partners, and public support, and with economically successful use of their intellectual property rights. Martin Schlosser also acquired a substantial qualification in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and regularly solves conflicts in the field of Intellectual Property Rights and beyond by ADR. He qualified as a Business Mediator (CCI) and Certified Mediator from the Academy of the Chamber of Commerce for Munich and Upper Bavaria. He earned a Diploma in International Arbitration from ArbitrationLAB in Basel and London and is a Member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (MCIArb). Martin Schlosser has been a lecturer and author for industrial management at the Private University of Applied Sciences Göttingen and holds seminars and lectures on intellectual property law at universities and other institutions. Since 2005 he has been a member of the jury for the regional competition “Jugend Forscht“ (German Youth Scientific Competition) in Schongau and the point of contact for patent law at the corresponding sponsorship pool in Bavaria. He is a university lecturer at the IP Business Academy of the University of Strasbourg (CEIPI) and the author of numerous scientific publications.
