Dipl.-Ing. Fabian Haiböck

After passing the qualifying examination before the European Patent Office in 2022, Fabian Haiböck successfully passed the examination to become an Austrian Patent Attorney in 2024 and joins the partnership at Hübscher und Partner as Managing Director in 2025.

In addition to drafting patent applications and guiding our clients through the entire patent grant procedure, his core area of expertise includes opposition and appeal proceedings before the Austrian Patent Office and the European Patent Office, including the associated oral proceedings. While preparing for his final exams, he placed a strong focus on trademark law and design law and has since been a driving force for discussions in this area within the firm. In order to maintain and expand his knowledge, he works together with Gerd Hübscher and a cross-firm team to prepare knowledge about IP law in a multimedia format, for example in the podcast series “Der ip courses Podcast”.

His studies focus on process engineering and biotechnology. His highly interdisciplinary training in connection with process engineering in particular gives him a solid basis for a wide variety of technological fields, which makes it easier for him to familiarize himself quickly with specialist topics and which is why he has been able to expand his expertise and his client base in the course of his work as a patent attorney, particularly in electromobility, mechanical processing methods, space technology and environmental technology. His personal interests in sports and music also make him a welcome point of contact for any inventions in connection with sporting and creative fields.

Fabian Haiböck attaches great importance to long-term cooperation with his clients, which is why he particularly supports start-ups with disruptive ideas.

The appeal of my job lies in the variety of inventions. Every day I have the opportunity to deal with innovations from a wide variety of technological backgrounds. I want to convey this enthusiasm for my profession to my clients. I will gladly try to help you protect your ideas and successfully realize them in the long term.
