Dr Moritz Hoffmann is a technical expert currently training to become a German and European patent attorney.
His areas of specialisation are materials science and modern manufacturing processes. Whilst completing his PhD and working as a research assistant in a leading international research group, he led externally funded projects at the interface between academic research and industrial application. In doing so, he deepened his expertise in ceramic, polymer and metallic materials, as well as additive and subtractive manufacturing processes. From raw materials to the finished product, he combines expertise in materials science and manufacturing technology with regulatory knowledge in dental and medical technology, and understands the requirements of dentistry, dental technology and the dental industry from years of experience.
With this background, he brings a combination of technological understanding, scientific methodology and practical insight to intellectual property law, enabling him to grasp the technical depth of innovations and protect them effectively.
