German Patent Attorney · European Patent Attorney · Representative (UPC)

Nicola Warneke is a German and European Patent Attorney and a member of the Examination Committee for the European Qualifying Examination (EQE). She holds a Master’s degree in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science and has been advising companies of all sizes on intellectual property matters for many years.

Her practice focuses on the drafting and enforcement of technical intellectual property rights in the fields of computer science, electrical engineering, and general mechanical engineering. She has particular expertise in artificial intelligence (AI), image recognition, electrical circuits, control technologies, ergonomics, and sports equipment. Her approach combines technical insight with legal expertise and a keen sense for commercial relevance.

In addition to patent law, she also advises clients comprehensively on trademark matters – from strategic brand development and trademark filing to representation in opposition and cancellation proceedings before the offices. She is a key contact for startups, SMEs, and internationally active companies seeking sound advice on patents, trademarks, and design protection.

With her technical background, experience from the EQE Examination Committee, and legal expertise, she helps clients develop robust and enforceable IP strategies – both nationally and internationally.
