IP Due Diligence · Germany
With the increasing number of IP transactions, IP due diligence is growing in importance. Dennemeyer & Associates S.A. is therefore very happy to be awarded IP Due Diligence Law Firm of the Year by Corporate INTL. 

What makes the firm’s IP due diligence service unique is: 
• It is complete in its scope 
• It is modular in its approach 
• It has a proven economic efficiency 
• It can offer fixed fees 

Dennemeyer’s strength in offering this service results from being the only firm offering a high proven efficiency in IP due diligence, demonstrated and practised over the years. Further, its modular and fixed fee price structure is very appealing to its clients. The techniques for IP due diligence equally apply to patent valuation. Therefore, Dennemeyer has a very high reputation in this field not only in Germany, but also worldwide, being known as “one of the very few true experts” in this field. 

The firm’s IP due diligence service is headed by Dr Malte Köllner, from the Frankfurt office. Dr Köllner has been recognised numerous times as one of the world’s leading lawyers and patent strategists, and for his work in the field of patent valuation. He has extensive experience in performing due diligence investigations for smaller clients, investors and Fortune 500 companies, in particular for venture capital investments. He also teaches Patent Due Diligence and Patent Valuation at the University of Strasbourg and at the University of Maastricht. 

Based on his practical experience and on the work done in the German standards committee on patent valuation, he developed the Dennemeyer approach to IP due diligence that is at the same time complete in its scope and economically efficient – “Due Diligence or Discount, Monetary effect of legal aspects in patent valuation”, Les Nouvelles, Volume XLIV No. 1, pages 24-37, March 2009. 

With the IP due diligence service, Dennemeyer & Associates reinforces its scope of providing the full range of legal services relating to intellectual assets. 

Established in 1962, in Luxembourg, Dennemeyer & Associates has come a long way in 50 years, growing from a patent law firm into a multinational IP law firm with offices in nine countries and new locations being constantly added. Its lawyers offer world-class expertise in IP law for the following intellectual assets: patents, trademarks, designs, copyrights, domain names and licenses. As a pioneer in internationalising strategic intellectual asset management, the firm is specialised in the preparation and worldwide registration of patents, trademarks and designs.
