Intellectual Property & Competition<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]We provide legal assistance with patents <\/strong>and utility models, trademarks<\/a>, designs, software <\/strong>and databases, know-how <\/strong>and trade secrets, domain names, geographic indications <\/strong>and appellations<\/strong> and copyright.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We also have extensive experience in litigating issues involving\u00a0unfair competition<\/strong>, ranging from slavish imitation, passing off, appropriation of competitor\u2019s qualities and lookalike, denigration, employee poaching, misappropriation of trade secrets and parasitical competition.<\/p>\n

We represent our clients in civil and criminal courts<\/strong> in Italy and the EU, including the Court of Justice and the EUIPO, as well as in alternative dispute resolution venues such as Arbitration Panels, the Italian Design Jury and Advertising Jury. We assist our clients also before the central, local and regional divisions of the Unified Patent Court (UPC).<\/p>\n

Our global reach allows us to take on cross-border litigation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Outside the courtroom, we help our clients to develop and protect their intellectual property rights<\/strong>. We provide preliminary opinions to our clients and represent them in negotiating and preparing contracts (such as licensing, confidentiality, technology transfer and cooperation agreements), as well as administrative procedures to secure IP-related tax benefits (such as the \u201cPatent Box\u201d) and to prevent the introduction of counterfeit products into Italy and Europe (customs surveillance).<\/p>\n

In the domain of\u00a0advertising, commercial communications\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0unfair commercial practices,<\/strong>\u00a0we draft preliminary opinions on product packaging and advertisement spots and campaigns to verify their compliance with advertising and competition regulations.<\/p>\n

Our Intellectual Property services also cover commissioned inventions, employee inventions and the related issue of\u00a0fair reward<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1589294204508{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}” el_class=”sidebar-title service”]<\/p>\n
