Dear [     ]

I hope you are doing well. We saw that the below opposition procedure was recently filed against Zahoransky AG at the European Patent Office by M+C Schiffer GmbH, .

About two-thirds of EP oppositions result in either a complete revocation of a patent or reduced patent claim scope; thus, engagement of skilled EP opposition counsel is a critical consideration. If Zahoransky AG has not yet engaged EP opposition counsel to assist in this matter, we would welcome the opportunity to submit a proposal. Finnegan’s European patent attorneys, based in London and Munich, are experienced in all aspects of complex and high-value EP oppositions. We regularly defend clients’ patents, including against multiple opponents, and represent them in any associated appeals. Also, as a global IP law firm, our extensive experience in European and U.S. litigation and post-grant procedures provides us with an educated perspective on how best to coordinate oppositions within a global context. Drawing on our experience in multi-jurisdictional coordination, we are able to not only maximize efficiencies, but also intelligently use the optimal combination of procedures and approaches to obtain the best results.

If you would like to discuss our initial observations or learn more about our European practice, we would welcome a call.

Best regards,
[Attorney]
