An automotive expert, Jessen spent several years working for Audi and its subsidiaries before moving into the patent profession. His experience in the industry gives his advice a technical and commercial edge appreciated by his clientele. The firm’s third co-founder alongside Kreuels and Rößler is the deeply experienced Hermann Kahlhöfer, who has been working in the field of intellectual property for more than 40 years.
