The roots of Best<\/span>IP <\/span>go back to the Trademark Department of Hoechst AG in Frankfurt am Main, at the time one of the three big chemical and pharmaceutical companies in Germany.<\/p>\n

In 1998, following the restructuring of Hoechst AG, the head of the trademark department of the company, Dr. Robert Freitag, and his deputy Dr. Michael Best jointly founded the law firm Freitag & Best. As in-house counsels, they had been responsible for the management of the global portfolio of trademarks, designs and other non-technical IP rights as well as licensing, advertising and unfair competition matters of the Hoechst group for many years. With Freitag & Best they continued advising many of the successor companies of Hoechst group and safeguarding their intellectual property rights.<\/p>\n

In 2013, under its new name Best<\/span>IP<\/span>, the firm moved from its offices on the premises of former Hoechst AG (today operated under the name Industriepark H\u00f6chst) to its previous offices only minutes away from Industriepark H\u00f6chst in the center of Frankfurt H\u00f6chst.<\/p>\n

In April 2021, the firm decided to reinvent itself and started a restructuring process which included increased social engagement, the implementation of innovative technologies, the recruitment and support of the next generation of IP professionals and the completion of the digitization of the entire historical IP files which partly date back more than 100 years. Now doing business under the brand Best<\/span>IP<\/span>, the firm completed the restructuring process by moving from Frankfurt-H\u00f6chst to its new offices in the iconic “The Squaire” building at the Frankfurt\/Main airport.<\/p>\n
