About

Provided by Crowell & Moring LLP

Our Brussels IP practice is one of the largest, strongest, and most diverse in Belgium. We assist clients from a broad range of industries and we are well-known for our advisory and dispute resolution skills, especially in complex, multi-jurisdictional matters. Thanks to our cutting-edge tech abilities, we are able to help clients negotiate software license agreements, collaborative IT development agreements, outsourcing and other IT service agreements, and confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements. 


We have particular experience in:

  • Copyright
  • Patents
  • Life Sciences
  • Technology and IP
  • Trademarks and Designs
  • Trade Secrets and Know-How


We represent our clients before all the relevant administrative bodies, such as the European Union Intellectual Property Office and the Benelux Intellectual Property Office, and before the Belgian civil and criminal courts and the Court of Justice of the European Union. We offer training on IP protection, assist clients in establishing internal policing and enforcement policies, and conduct IP due diligence studies. Our experience as IP litigators also allows us to handle a variety of regulatory issues that intersect with IP rights, including antitrust issues, pricing and reimbursement, and parallel imports.
