Maximilian Zangs is a patent attorney and former engineer with ten years of experience at the intersection of electrical engineering, electronics and IP protection. Trained to PhD level in electronic engineering, he leverages deep technical expertise—especially in circuitry, control systems and renewable energy—to navigate prosecution, opposition and appeal proceedings before the EPO, DPMA and Federal Patent Court. Having completed hands-on stints in litigation chambers and long-standing roles at Hoffmann Eitle, he combines courtroom familiarity with client-focused patent drafting and strategy. He also codes and reviews academic work, reflecting a habit of rigorous technical scrutiny and continual learning. Comfortable translating complex inventions into defensible IP positions, he is equally at home debugging embedded systems as arguing procedural points in litigation. Colleagues describe him as analytically meticulous, sociable, and deliberately cross-disciplinary in pursuit of robust patent solutions.
