In today’s fast-moving business environment, creativity and innovation are valuable assets and need robust protection. Clients across many different sectors rely on our member firms to advise them on all aspects of protecting and defending their intellectual property, both across Europe and around the globe.
Our expertise covers the full spectrum of IP-related needs, from creation and registration of client’s IP rights to their contractual exploitation as well as prosecution and defense. Not only do we secure registration of your IP rights before national offices and at the European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), but we also enforce client’s IP assets in civil courts.
We litigate clients’ patents before the newly created Unified Patent Court, with an integrated and multilingual litigation team, present before all the three Central Divisions in Paris, Munich and Milan.
Our capability in handling all types of intellectual property – including patents, trademarks, designs and copyrights as well as connected fields (know-how, trade secrets, unfair competition, etc.) – is widely respected across Europe.
This is underpinned by our deep experience working in many sectors driven by creativity (such as luxury and fashion or and media and entertainment) and innovation (such as technology, health care and automotive), ensuring we truly understand the commercial role that IP plays for those industries. In particular, we have deep expertise in all aspects of IP related to artificial intelligence (AI) and non-fungible tokens (NFT), among many other new and highly complex areas.
We also regularly advise and support clients on related issues such as proactive IP portfolio management, due diligence, domain name registration, and defense of domain name though extrajudicial procedures (UDRP, local domain name procedures, etc.).
