Basti is honest and transparent in his work and a pleasure to work with. Our business and technology advanced very rapidly and Basti and his team were able to keep up with our fast pace, advising on and helping draft applications just as rapidly.

PATENT LITIGATION
My litigation practice is rooted in my time at BARDEHLE PAGENBERG, one of the most successful European IP firms, where I was involved in patent litigation cases involving telecommunications technology and standard-essential patents, electronic circuits, and software-based inventions.
I get involved in litigation cases mostly through recommendation by other law firms. My involvement may cover anything from pre-litigation forensics, infringement discovery and infringement mapping, and support in the infringement and validity proceedings. I can set up a strong team depending on the scope of the case.
IDF CREATION WORKSHOP

An IDF creation workshop typically unfolds as follows: I interview the inventors, carve out the invention’s core features with them and leave them with exact guidance on how to write up a full-featured invention disclosure statement.
These workshops typically take one or two hours, maybe three in exceptionally complex cases.
Once the IDF is ready, we may follow-up with a patent drafting engagement.
Working with Bastian Best and BESTPATENT was an excellent experience. His and his colleagues’ council was extremely valuable to me in building a valuable IP portfolio at our company. I did and do value his strategic advice and insights very highly – in particular, because Basti was keen and able to dive into the details of our business in order to help us implement the IP strategy that really suited our needs. Our business and technology advanced very rapidly and Basti and his team were able to keep up with our fast pace, advising on and helping draft applications just as rapidly. Basti is honest and transparent in his work and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him as a patent lawyer to anyone searching for quick and effective assistance in that area.

Anyone who applies for a patent puts their trust and their future in the hands of the IP professional they work with. From this perspective, the decision to go with Bastian was easy for us. In fact, he is the best IP professional I have ever worked with. Bastian is deeply knowledgeable, highly intelligent and always considerate. He knows patent law and the system on every level, and works tirelessly on behalf of his clients. Yet, it is his integrity that led us to work with him. I could not think of a better person to trust with the future of our company.

I chose Bastian as Soul Machines’ EU patent representative because I know the EU has a notoriously high bar for accepting software-related inventions and wanted an expert in this space. Bastian did not disappoint: he knows the field inside and out and keeps up-to-date with the latest developments in computer implemented inventions, artificial intelligence, and digital business models.
