Dipl.-Chem. Patent Attorney

Ute Stork

As a trained chemist, Ute Stork is particularly fascinated by the opportunity to combine her curiosity for science and technology with legal reasoning, persuasive argumentation, and her linguistic skills. A key focus of her work lies in technical intellectual property rights – both in the grant procedure and in enforcement or defense against third-party claims. Early in her career, Ute Stork also developed a strong interest in trademark law. Among other contributions, she published an article on service marks in the retail sector and successfully secured one of the first color trademarks for a client. As a member of the International Trademark Association, she is internationally recognized and well-connected in this field as well. Thanks to her broad personal network and long-standing, trusted collaboration with partner firms in all major countries and markets, she offers clients from Germany and abroad comprehensive advice on intellectual property matters – in Germany, across Europe, and around the globe.
