After graduating in civil engineering at the University Fridericiana Karlsruhe, Thomas Plenker worked as a research associate at the chair of urban engineering at the Technical University Dresden and obtained his doctorate degree in the field of reconstruction of technical infrastructure. He worked as a project engineer at an engineering firm in Munich and supervised the building and expansion of airports and underground stations. His fascination for the newest technological developments finally brought him to the work in the field of intellectual property rights. He was trained at our patent attorney firm, the German Patent and Trademark Office and the Federal Patent Court. Thomas Plenker was registered as a German Patent Attorney in 2010 and as a European Patent Attorney in 2011.

His long-standing experience, perseverance and accuracy enable him to advice our clients at the prosecution of patent applications.
