Our IP practice spans all major areas, including trademark, patent, copyright, design, and unfair competition law.

In Trademark Law, we advise clients on the development of global protection strategies, portfolio management, licensing, and enforcement. We handle filings, oppositions, and infringement proceedings before all relevant authorities and courts. Working with our international network of partner firms, we ensure seamless protection in all major jurisdictions while maintaining flexibility to collaborate with clients’ regular advisors. Our services also include trademark monitoring, border seizure procedures, and the negotiation of coexistence and license agreements.

In Patent Law, we assist in protecting and defending technical innovations and inventions. Our patent attorneys and legal experts provide strategic advice on patent applications, portfolio management, and enforcement before national and European courts. We also represent clients in infringement disputes, settlement negotiations, and licensing matters, drawing on technical expertise and collaboration with independent experts where needed.

Our Copyright Law services cover the full life cycle of creative works – from protection and licensing to enforcement. We represent clients across diverse sectors such as media, technology, design, and entertainment. Our advice includes contract drafting, rights management, and legal support for digital content, online platforms, and emerging technologies such as AI and NFTs. We also assist with plagiarism cases, unauthorized use, and international disputes, ensuring that creative and digital assets are effectively protected and commercialized.

Under Unfair Competition Law, we advise and represent clients in preventing and pursuing misleading advertising, counterfeiting, and unfair commercial practices. Our team reviews marketing campaigns, assesses legal risks, and develops compliant communication strategies. We act swiftly in preliminary injunctions and court proceedings, protecting our clients’ brands and reputation.

In Design Law, we support the protection and enforcement of registered and unregistered designs – a vital part of our clients’ identity and product strategy. Our services include filing and prosecution of design applications, opposition and invalidity proceedings, and litigation before national and European courts. We also provide strategic portfolio advice, risk assessments for product launches, and legal guidance on digital and 3D design protection. Through our international unyer network, we ensure consistent protection of design rights across multiple jurisdictions.
