Dr Ole Trinks specialises in the drafting and enforcement of technical IP rights in the fields of measurement and control technology, medical technology and automotive engineering. As a qualified representative before the European Patent Office (EPO), the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and the UPC, he supports national and international clients throughout the entire patent life cycle – from patent filing through opposition and appeal proceedings to nullity and infringement actions.
During his PhD in nonlinear dynamics at the University of Göttingen, he focused on complex physical systems. Industrial research and development roles – including work on cold-cathode discharge lamps at ERG/OSRAM GmbH and in the measurement technology development group at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) in cooperation with the aerodynamics research group at DaimlerChrysler Aerospace – have shaped his deep understanding of applied physics and industrial development processes.
Dr Trinks advises in particular on patent applications, international filing strategies (PCT), freedom-to-operate analyses, and the defence and enforcement of patents. His technical focus areas include applied physics, optics, laser physics, fluid dynamics, optical measurement technology, spectroscopy, geophysics and astrophysics. As author of the standard reference work “PCT in der Praxis” and a regular speaker on PCT-related topics, he combines academic depth with pragmatic, strategic advice.
