A tech enthusiast with a sense for precision
Andreas Zilkens works in HOFFMANN EITLE's Mechanical Engineering practice group on the drafting of patent applications and utility models, on patent prosecution before the European Patent Office as well as the German Patent- and Trademark Office and assists in opposition and appeal proceedings.
Andreas' approach is characterized by his ability to thoroughly understand the idea of an invention in detail and to apply it to the overall picture of the scope of protection sought. He is pleased to assist clients by combining his technical expertise as an engineer with his passion for language and intellectual property.
Before joining HOFFMANN EITLE in December 2020, Andreas studied Mechanical Engineering at RWTH Aachen University and Automotive Engineering at the Technical University in Munich. During his studies, he worked for several years at various research institutes in the field of Polymer- and Automotive Engineering. The research fields he worked in range from synthetic elastomers and the production of fiber-reinforced thermoplastics to innovative multi-plate clutches and wheel-individual steering systems to active suspensions, on which Andreas conducted research during his master's thesis in collaboration with a major German car manufacturer.
Outside of the office, Andreas can be found running along the Isar River, hiking in the mountains surrounding Munich, or during bad weather in his garage, where he enjoys working on various projects.
