Schweiger and Partners stick out against their competition, because of the depth of understanding for technical aspects, which allows them to zoom in on relevant IP. I appreciate their holistic approach to IP strategy, asking the right questions in the interest of their client, rather than just filing a patent.

I could personally see Martin acting in professional full force during oral proceedings before the Appeal Chamber of the European Patent Office (EPO). We have instructed him to attack a granted business method patent that stood against our own technology. Martin showed great professionalism in spontaneously connecting with the legal representative of the co-opponent in attacking the opposed patent with very selected sharp and short arguments. It was like watching two wolves hunting down a fox who was desperately trying to defend itself against death. It was a unique experience for me to see Martin acting in a very professional way in order to destroy the patent in suit.First Businesspost GmbH
Martin provides high-quality intellectual property legal advice, packed into a personal experience. It has been a pleasure to work with folks who not only know the legal ropes but also get the engineering and technical aspects. Martin is not only very approachable, helpful and quick to understand complex issues for our patent applications. One of the most impressive experiences with Martin was when he helped me negotiate a very favorable service agreement with a much larger competitor. This service agreement relationship with our competitor later – as my company grew bigger – turned sour, and it came out in court that one of the regulations that Martin had worded into the original service agreement ultimately saved my company. I would highly recommend Martin and his team.Tiska GmbH
As a co-founder of a technology startup I had a rare opportunity to participate in a hearing with the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS). At the time, we had received three office actions, in which the examiner rejected our patent application because of a perceived lack of inventive step. We had replied with extensive substantive arguments, to which the examiner replied with new clarity objections, still rejecting our patent application. After careful preparation by Martin and his team – we attended the hearing at IPOS together with him and his senior patent engineer Tan Chong Teck. Martin was extremely focused on clarifying the outstanding questions from examiner which allowed us to answer these with the support of documentation available. Martin clearly explained the situation to the Examiner, citing fact and reasoning. It was a rare moment for me to see Martin use the full width of his professional expertise to secure the patent for usBBP Barghest Pte. Ltd.
I was introduced to Martin and his Firm by my colleagues in Singapore, when I asked for an independent professional support with local laws and contracts. Martin’s response was immediate and he has always been available when required despite the different time zone between us. What impressed me in Martin’s approach is a successful combination of German attention to details and Singaporean efficiency. His in-depth knowledge of not only Singaporean laws but also of local culture and customs helped us to define the way of working in a new environment (for me) and to reach rather quickly a win-win result. I would definitely recommend Martin and his Firm to whoever needs an independent professional support with local laws and contracts in Singapore.

Short after we were notified by our client Megastar that the Singapore customs made a border seizure of counterfeit goods in one the containers that our client was shipping, Martin presented me a court order for detaining the seized counterfeit goods and suggested to amically negotiate a settlement between our clients. I was quite surprised how swift these negotiations with Martin’s client came to a conclusion, while the negotiations with the other plaintiffs went nowhere. Myself being a shipping lawyer with a 30 years trial experience, but without much experience in the trademarks area, I have then asked Martin to come on board as an expert witness for our client. Which he did. Martin – based on his 23+ years of experience in the area of Intellectual Property enforcement – has supported my firm Asia Ascent in the ongoing trademark infringement court case in Singapore, through first and second instance, with valuable information and practical advice on how to source relevant case law both from common law countries, as well as from other jurisdictions. And we have won our court case.Asia Ascent Law Corporation
Martin was recommended to me as an outstanding patent attorney by …. Martin sincerely impressed me in many respects. In my experience, he proved to be a professional and always moving the project in the right direction. A case that I remember vividly was when we have been approached by a third party for an alleged patent infringement in Singapore. Martin studied the case, and he listened carefully to our legal and technical concerns with a lot of patience. He gave us very valuable advice regarding the critical legal aspects of the case, but what impressed me most was his ability to also adding value to a fairly complicated negotiation when we had a phone discussion with the German patent owner. Briefly, during our conference call with the patent owner, every word he said seemed to tilt the balance in our favor and helped the patent owner to better understand why we were not infringing his patent. As the patent owner still did not entirely give up bothering us, Martin then filed a patent revocation request with the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore, and he used an existing loophole in the Patents Act such that the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore had to contact the patent owner in order to convince him that he has to voluntarily abandon his own patent. Which he finally did. As a consequence of our case, the Singapore Patents Act has later been changed in order to close this loophole. This was quite a convincing demonstration of Martin´s professional abilities as a patent attorney, I must say.Meiban

Martin and I worked together in a large international patent litigation team, representing a Japanese defendant against a German plaintiff before the High Court in Singapore. Martin turned out to be a very versatile team player for patent matters. Not only did he play a material role with the patent (non-)infringement and patent invalidity of the Singapore patent proceedings, he also attacked the sister EP patent with 3rd-party observations in already ongoing opposition proceedings. The sister EP paten was eventually revoked, and this had thereby also put the plaintif´s SG patent in suit in question. Martin supported the litigation team tremendously in navigating our expert witness meetings. And it was Martin who helped highlight and tenaciously persevered a late amendment issue of the patent in suit, which ultimately tipped the balance towards the defendant. In patent litigation matters, you want to have Martin in your own team, and not as an adversary.Eldan Law Corporation
