Moritz L. Breitenbach
LL.M
Patent Attorney
European Patent and Trademark Attorney
Profile
Moritz studied Interdisciplinary Sciences at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, the University of California Berkeley and Stanford University, specializing in biotechnology, chemical biology and chemistry. He was able to complete his Bachelor’s thesis in the laboratory of future Nobel Prize winner Carolyn Bertozzi. He obtained his Master of Science in 2010 with a thesis on the latency of HI viruses at the University Hospital Zurich.
Although he turned his back on research after his studies to work as a management consultant at one of the world’s largest management consultancies; he then returned to the world of innovation, which he now protects for his clients by skillfully applying IP. With in-depth experience from many years of laboratory work and a strong consulting expertise, Moritz has a broad understanding of the economic aspects of intellectual property. His expertise is underpinned by an LL.M. in IP Law and Management from the University of Strasbourg, where his thesis focused on the protection of digital business models by intellectual property.
This enables him to support his clients in particular in the development of IP strategies and the generation of inventions. He is also a lecturer for IP Law at the Faculty of Law at the University of Kassel. Moritz is licensed as a German Patent Attorney, European Patent, Trademark and Design Attorney and UPC Representative.
