Bernhard Wittmann advises across all areas of industrial property law, in particular patent, utility model, trade mark and design law. He advises and represents clients in the filing, acquisition, protection and enforcement of technical intellectual property rights and trade marks. A further focus of his practice is employee invention law, including the drafting and negotiation of inventor remuneration agreements.
His technical expertise covers physics and mechanics, with a particular focus on optics, laser physics, semiconductor physics, spectroscopy, quantum optics, quantum communication and quantum key distribution (QKD). Before qualifying as a patent attorney, he worked in research, including at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) in Vienna, Austria.
He is a co-author of numerous publications in leading international journals in the fields of quantum optics and quantum information, including loophole-free tests of Bell's theorem and long-distance quantum teleportation experiments. His scientific background enables him to rapidly grasp highly complex technologies and to develop sound IP protection strategies for his clients on that basis.
