Intellectual Property
We have extensive experience in IP litigation, particularly in the field of trademarks and patents. Our assistance in IP litigation ranges from the granting of emergency measures to ordinary proceedings both before national courts and before EU jurisdictions.
We have significant experience in negotiating and drafting technology transfer agreements and licensing and franchising agreements.
We are involved in defining strategies to protect confidential know-how and in particular in managing the protection of trade secrets between the employer and its employees.
We belong to several international associations in the field of intellectual property and international trade such as INTA (International Trademark Association), and AIPPI (Association Internationale pour la Protection de la Propriété Intellectuelle).
