We have developed extensive and well-established experience in the protection and enforcement of patent rights, representing clients before the Italian courts in complex patent litigation across all major industrial and technological sectors, including mechanical engineering, electronics, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology.

The Firm has significant expertise in assessing the financial and economic impact of patent infringement, gained through long-standing collaboration with specialized experts in the calculation of damages, lost profits and unpaid royalties. This integrated approach enables us to effectively support clients both in contentious proceedings and in negotiation and settlement strategies.

We have also built substantial experience in patent licensing, assisting clients in the structuring and negotiation of licensing agreements and in the optimization of the commercial exploitation of their inventions, particularly when entering new domestic and international markets. The Firm works in close cooperation with patent attorneys and technical experts, ensuring comprehensive legal, technical and economic support.

Selected Experience in Patent Law

In particular, the Firm has assisted:

  • a leading Israeli company in major patent litigation proceedings against a large European industry group;

  • leading companies in the industrial mechanical engineering sector in several patent infringement disputes against German and Italian competitors;

  • a U.S.-based multinational pharmaceutical company in a series of complex patent disputes concerning the Bolar (regulatory) exemption and the limits of patent protection.
