Patents under MRI examination: MIPM, Germany
Written by forumSME Admin
MIPM, Germany, is a small medical equipment supplier with growing experience in betting on which patents will pay off. The “Mammendorfer Institut für Physik und Medizin” (MIPM) is now a 20-person company designing, selling and servicing its electronic devices.
Michael N. Rosenheimer, an electrical engineer and entrepreneur, used to file patents whenever he thought his German medical supply company was on to something big. A doctor would say he had a problem at the hospital and that if Mr Rosenheimer could come up with a technical solution, he would buy it, as would everybody else. “So then you make it and patent it and find out that ‘everybody else’ is that one doctor,” says Mr Rosenheimer. Over the years he has filed numerous patents, half of which he no longer enforces. “There's a big learning curve in this market,” he says.
