TRADEMARKS AND PATENTS

The Firm can point to noteworthy experience in the sector of trademark and patent law. It provides full assistance during both court proceedings and out-of-court procedures.

In particular, it supplies assistance and consulting on disputes regarding the counterfeiting, infringement and/or invalidity of trademarks, patents and/or industrial models, including questions of unfair competition. The Firm also provides assistance and consulting on the stipulation of contracts regarding licensing and the sale of trademarks, patents and know-how, as well as contracts of franchising, distribution and merchandising, plus agreements of coexistence and secrecy.

In addition to drawing up opinions on all issues pertinent to industrial law, the Firm has obtained experience in the safeguarding of trademarks and patents, including those areas where it proves more difficult to interpret the traditional legal principles, as a result of the electronic processing and circulation of information (Internet, the safeguarding of domain names).

In the specific sector of sports law, we have developed a franchising system for the world of professional soccer.
