Intellectual Property and I.T.

Together with our clients we define the appropriate strategies for the preservation and enhancement of the intangible assets of businesses, offering advice in non-contentious matters, drafting legal opinions, as well as preparing and dealing with contracts relating to the management of intellectual and industrial property (research and development contracts, know-how licences, trademark or patent licence). We also assist consortia and entities in the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin.

We also assist our clients in the implementation and management of licensing programmes and in disputes aimed at protecting intellectual property rights against all forms of counterfeiting, unfair competition and appropriation of merits, as well as in the protection of “Made in Italy”, both in Italy and abroad.

In this context the firm also offers national and international trademark filing services (including prior art searches), trademark watching services, and assistance in active and passive opposition procedures.

In addition to non-contentious matters, we represent our clients before ordinary courts and arbitration courts, both in Italy and abroad, in disputes concerning the confusability and infringement of trademark and patent rights, as well as other intellectual property rights.

We support our clients operating through online and e-commerce channels, as well as major entities related to the world of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data.

We also handle information technology proceedings, particularly for infringement and reassignment of domain names, infringement or violation of other rights, such as image or privacy, by means of the Internet.
