Recognized in Best Lawyers since 2023

When our small tech startup faced an unexpected trademark opposition filing in Germany from a larger competitor, we were referred to Bolko Ehlgen. Despite his office being in Frankfurt, his clear communication and responsiveness made the transatlantic collaboration seamless. Bolko’s dual perspective, with his practice in Germany and recognition in Columbus, was invaluable. He meticulously explained the nuances of EU and U.S. intellectual property law, translating a complex legal landscape into actionable strategy for us. His recognition in Intellectual Property Law by Best Lawyers was evident in every interaction; he demonstrated a sophisticated grasp of the procedural hurdles and substantive arguments needed. Bolko crafted a defense that not only addressed the opposition but also proactively strengthened our overall IP portfolio. Within a few months, he successfully negotiated a settlement that allowed us to retain our key trademark rights without costly litigation, saving our European market entry. For a firm with only two years of recognized practice, his strategic foresight and calm professionalism were exceptionally impressive. We have since engaged him for ongoing IP counsel with absolute confidence.
