RIGLING EICHENBERGER IP
After more than 30 years as a patent attorney, as the owner of a medium-sized patent law firm and as a judge at the Federal Patent Court, it was time for Peter Rigling to turn his focus back to where his expertise is most needed: his clients. They are entrepreneurs, inventors and innovators who want and need advice tailored to their needs in the complex field of intellectual property law. Advice that is geared to the client's focus and identifies solutions that are in line with the business strategy.
Administration and standard processes are good, flexibility, creativity and individuality are better and lead to the goal faster. This also affects the costs, which we keep an eye on. RIGLING IP AG emerged there from.
When Philip Eichenberger took over the company in 2024, it was renamed RIGLING EICHENBERGER IP AG.

After studying at the ETH Zurich (Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich), where I qualified as a Dipl. El.-Ing. ETH, I spent two years in the USA, where I worked as a technical assistant at the medical faculty of the University of Miami while completing a Master’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering. With my Master of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering, I joined the development department of a Swiss company as a project and group leader, which was active in the field of "Medical Imaging" based on nuclear magnetic resonance. The high-tech application with digital signal processors brought me in contact with patents for the first time. My interest in industrial property rights led me to join the patent and legal department of a large telecommunications company in 1990 where I was trained as a patent attorney. In 1995, I joined a medium-sized patent law firm in the Zurich area as a European Patent Attorney being authorized to represent clients before the European Patent Office, and worked as a partner and co-owner from 1999 to 2020. My expertise comprises in particular: general electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, compurter-related inventions, digital signal processing, manufacturing, mechanical inventions, telecommunication, measuring techniques, internet-based inventions. In 2013, I served as a part-time judge from 2013 to 2023 at the Federal Patent Cour. In 2021 I founded RIGLING IP AG.

After my studies at ETH Zurich, where I graduated in 2001 Dipl. Masch.-Ing. ETH, I worked as a development engineer in various international companies in the field of mechanical engineering, in particular steelworks engineering. My interest in patents led me to take on increasing responsibility for patents. In 2012, I joined a renowned patent and trademark law firm to train as a patent attorney. I was admitted as a European Patent Attorney in 2017 and as a Swiss Patent Attorney in 2021. During my work as a patent attorney, I worked with Peter Rigling, from whom I took over RIGLING IP AG in 2024.
