EIP received positive client and peer feedback: “… EIP is a well-known and highly regarded patent outfit. Most recently, it has created a name for itself in the Nordic region by launching in Sweden in September 2022.” “EIP is also positioning itself strategically to become competitive at the UPC through a partnership with French patent firm Amar Goussu Staub, bringing the outfit a deep bench that now extends across the United Kingdom, Sweden, France and Germany.” “Employing one of the country’s [UK] best mixed practices, the solicitors and attorneys of EIP work at the cutting edge.” “The German branch of EIP, like its British counterpart, offers up a tightly constructed team for the most difficult patent litigation, especially in the SEP and FRAND space.” In addition to the firm rankings a number of individuals have received recognition.
