Competent representation before the Federal Supreme Court

​

The law firm NOBBE RINKLER follows the tradition of the law firm ENGEL RINKLER, which was founded in 2007 and was continued by Axel Rinkler after the retirement of Friedrich-Wilhelm Engel in 2021. In Mai 2025, Dr. Julia Nobbe and Axel Rinkler joined forces to practice their profession together. In accordance with their special admission as lawyers at the Federal Court of Justice, they are only active before this court and the European Court of Justice. They represent their clients in appeals on points of law, non-admission appeals, as well as in appeals in patent nullity cases and preliminary ruling procedures.

The self-image that already characterized the joint law firm of Friedrich-Wilhelm Engel and Axel Rinkler also applies to the law firm NOBBE RINKLER:

"We see ourselves as specialists for proceedings before the Federal Supreme Court, which, based on the work of our pre-instance colleagues, aim to achieve optimum results for our clients in the third instance. It goes without saying that regular teamwork with clients, in-house lawyers, attorneys-at-law and patent attorneys is required. Extensive court files have to be worked through on a regular basis so that the chances of success of the desired appeal can be assessed first. Since we have not yet been involved in the matter, we are unbiased in this aspect. If the appeal is well-founded, it is necessary, using our many years of experience, to examine the case material from the instances in writing and to concentrate on the essential points."

The firm deals with civil law in all its breadth, with a focus on intellectual property, copyright and transport law.
