Provided by Luthi & Co (Herzog Patents)
Luthi & Co. (Herzog Patents) is a boutique law firm established in 1986 by Richard Luthi which specializes in IP litigation. While the firm’s expertise encompasses all areas of IP litigation, it is particularly renowned for its patent litigation practice. The firm is headed by Richard Luthi, widely regarded as Israel’s leading patent litigator.
For more than 40 years, the firm has been involved in many of the most important IP cases in Israel and has been instrumental in establishing Israeli IP jurisprudence.
The firm has extensive experience in handling complex IP cases in various fields such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, high-tech, consumer products etc., and benefits from the fact that many of its members also hold scientific degrees. The firm is also well known outside Israel, and is frequently retained to assist and advise clients on patent litigation matters abroad, such as the US, EPO, and other jurisdictions.
In October 2022, Luthi & Co. formed an IP Group jointly with Cohn, de Vries, Stadler & Co. (“CDS”). The name of the Group is CDS-LUTHI. Following the establishment of the CDS-LUTHI IP Group, Luthi & Co. is the litigation arm and CDS is the prosecution arm of the Group.
In September 2025, CDS-LUTHI entered a strategic partnership with Herzog Fox & Neeman ("HFN"), one of Israel’s largest law firms to establish “Herzog Patents”. Under this alliance, Luthi & Co., handles all Patent litigation of HFN, while CDS handles all patent prosecution cases of HFN.
