Dr. Sebastian Heim advises international and national clients on contentious and non-contentious intellectual property matters, in particular tech-related intellectual property. His practice centres on complex, cross-border patent litigation, where he routinely represents clients in multi-jurisdictional proceedings spanning key European and international forums. Clients value his ability to develop and execute cohesive enforcement and defence strategies that align intellectual property disputes with broader commercial objectives. He is equally experienced in trade secret litigation, advising on misappropriation claims, interim relief, and cross-border evidence preservation.
Beyond his core patent and trade secret litigation practice, Dr. Heim advises on the full spectrum of IP-adjacent matters, including plant variety protection, employee invention rights, copyright protection for software, and matters related to unfair competition. This breadth allows him to take a holistic approach to IP conflicts—identifying vulnerabilities and opportunities that more narrowly focused practitioners may overlook. Known for his strategic acumen, Dr. Heim is regularly sought out by clients who require not only a tenacious advocate but a trusted counsellor capable of navigating the intersection of law, technology, and business. His track record in landmark proceedings and his standing among peers and in leading legal directories confirm his position among the most accomplished patent and intellectual property litigators in the market.
