\t\t\t\t\tIP Stars – <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tManaging IP awards Kather Augenstein counsels Dr Benjamin Pesch and Carsten Plaga as Rising Stars 2025<\/h2>\n\t\t\n\t\t

We are delighted our counsels Dr<\/b> Benjamin Pesch <\/b>and Carsten Plaga <\/b>have been named Rising Stars<\/i> in the latest Managing IP \u2013 IP Stars Ranking 2025<\/b>.<\/p>\n

This prestigious award recognises young lawyers who have distinguished themselves through their particular expertise, commitment and sustained success in the field of intellectual property.<\/p>\n

Dr Benjamin Pesch<\/a> has been listed as a Rising Star<\/i> <\/a><\/strong>for the fifth consecutive year<\/b> \u2013 demonstrating his continued excellence in the field of patent law. His focus is on advising national and international clients on the enforcement of intellectual property rights, <\/b>particularly <\/b>in the fields of telecommunications <\/b>and automotive<\/b>. Accordingly, he has been involved in several major disputes before national courts and the Unified Patent Court in recent years (most recently Panasonic v. Oppo\/Xiaomi). Another focus of his work is strategic advice in the area of licence agreements<\/b> and advising clients in cases of patent applications by unauthorised third parties (vindication<\/b>). His repeated award underscores his recognised position in the international IP community.<\/p>\n

Carsten Plaga<\/a> has been included in the Rising Star<\/b> <\/a><\/em>category for the first time this year. He primarily advises on patent law, with a particular focus on proceedings in the fields of technology, pharmaceuticals and life sciences<\/b>. In addition to his work in patent infringement and nullity proceedings<\/b>, he impresses with his deep technical understanding and practice-oriented advice of the highest standard.<\/p>\n

His inclusion amongst the rankings reflects his growing visibility and the high quality of his work. He has already been involved in numerous proceedings before the Unified Patent Court (UPC)<\/b> and thus has a broad experience in both national patent infringement proceedings and at European level.<\/p>\n

With these two awards, Managing IP<\/i> confirms Kather Augenstein<\/b>‘s position as a leading boutique for complex and contentious IP proceedings in Germany. The recognition of Dr. Benjamin Pesch<\/b> and Carsten Plaga<\/b> impressively demonstrates the professional strength and depth of our team.<\/p>\n

We warmly congratulate both of them on this well-deserved award!<\/p>\n
