Viki Joergens

Viki has been active in the field of intellectual property for more than eight years. Her main focus is on patent prosecution including drafting patent applications, communication with patent offices and supporting our clients in opposition and appeal proceedings.

Viki studied physics at the University of Regensburg (with a focus on solid state physics and astrophysics). She prepared her PhD at the Max-Planck-Institute (MPI) for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching und received a Habilitation from the University of Heidelberg. She worked at several science institutes (e.g., MPI for Astronomy Heidelberg, MPI for Astrophysics Garching, Leiden University Netherlands), where she studied extrasolar planets and planet-like objects by means of high precision measurements (e. g., Echelle spectroscopy, interferometry, astrometry, adaptive optics imaging) at large-scale astronomical observatories (e.g., Hubble and Herschel space telescopes, ALMA Large Millimeter Array, Very Large Telescope in Chile). Since 2016, she commits her scientific and technical expertise to the protection of intellectual property in Germany, Europe and worldwide, with a focus on drafting high-quality patent applications for leading technology companies.
