Jennifer Ebner von Eschenbach began her career as a European patent attorney in 1991 when she commenced her training in the Munich office of the international IP law firm of Ladas & Parry, LLP. Jennifer took over the office management from 1996-2008, during which time she was involved with the prosecution of patent applications for many multinational companies and research institutions. This provided her with an insight of IP needs covering a broad technological spectrum.

Since joining V.O. in 2008, Jennifer has focused on developments in the pharmaceutical and chemical sectors, including novel therapies, diagnostic tools, (bio)technological processes for the employment of renewable resources, as well as environmentally-conscious chemical processes/products, again spanning both a broad range of technologies and clients.

Jennifer has a wide practical experience in procuring and defending patents, including the filing and defense of oppositions. Through the provision of opinions on patent validity and infringement, she also has considerable experience in advising on parties’ freedom to operate.
