HISTORY OF THE OFFICE
DREISS PATENTANWÄLTE
The roots of DREISS PATENTANWÄLTE reach all the way back to the 1930s.
In 1970 Uwe Dreiss founded a patent lawyer’s office in Stuttgart. Jörn Fuhlendorf joined the office in 1977. The two became “Dreiss & Fuhlendorf.” In 1981 they joined up with Heinz Hosenthien, becoming “Dreiss, Hosenthien & Fuhlendorf”. Until then, Mr. Hosenthien had run the firm “Langosch & Hosenthien” with his partner Mr. Hans Langosch, who had passed away before the association with “Dreiss & Fuhlendorf”. The joint practice of “Langosch & Hostenthien” was preceded by the office of Mr. Emil C. Fleisch, who was an active patent attorney in Stuttgart starting in the late 1930s. In 1981, the growing firm “Dreiss, Hosenthien & Fuhlendorf” moved to new offices in Gerokstrasse 6, Stuttgart.
Josef Steimle joined the firm in 1992. After Mr. Hosenthien retired in 1995 and the patent attorney’s office of Mrs. Maria Becker was acquired in 1996, the firm’s name was changed to “Dreiss, Fuhlendorf, Steimle & Becker.” In 2001 the expanding firm moved to a larger building at Gerokstrasse 1. At the beginning of 2009, the jointpractice changed its legal form to a “partnership”. Since then, the name of the firm has been “DREISS PATENTANWÄLTE.”
Today, DREISS PATENTANWÄLTE is one of the largest patent attorney offices in Stuttgart and all of southwest Germany. All partners at DREISS PATENTANWÄLTE have completed technical studies in electrical technology, mechanical or civil engineering, physics, information technology, as well as chemistry and chemical engineering and are therefore capable of giving competent advice regarding almost every technical area of intellectual property protection. The partners at DREISS PATENTANWÄLTE are constantly active in the field of intellectual property by publishing articles, regularly holding lectures and teaching courses, by working together with the Chamber of the German Patent Attorneys and the Federal Association of German Patent Attorneys as well as by being involved in the education of patent attorney candidates and paralegal staff.
