Arno Riße is one of the firm’s partners.

He specializes in intel­lec­tual property law, with a focus on national and inter­na­tional patent litigation.

He has, in particular, a broad experience in the “high tech” sector (e.g. in common technology standards such as LTE, 5G, WiFi, Bluetooth, HEVC, (G/LP)DDR and ERPS, and in semi­con­ductor design), and in the phar­ma­ceut­ical and medical device sector, including associated regulatory issues and FRAND.

Legal 500 praises the “very meticulous” Arno Riße as an “outstanding team player”. He is also continu­ously recommended in the JUVE Handbook (“meticulous as well as innovative”).

IAM Patent 1000 states that he  "is one of his juris­dic­tion’s top authorities on high-technology patent law" and quotes: “Arno is one of the most outstanding  attorneys in his field. He knows all the tricks of the trade of modern patent litigation.”
