After periods at the OLG Düsseldorf (Higher Regional Court), the DPMA (German Patent and Trademark Office) and the BPatG (Federal Patent Court) Munich, he succesfully passed his examination in the field of intellectual property as German Patent Attorney in 2000. At the same time he worked at the dissertation to obtain the degree of Doctor of Economics (Dr. rer. pol.) supervised by Professor Dr. jur. Hanns Ullrich, M.C.J., Head of the Institute of Comparative Business Law at the University of Federal Armed Forces Munich, with the title: „The Significance of the Property Rights for Semiconductor Chips in Practice – prognosis and problems of a special law protection“.
