With 40 IP experts worldwide, our IP practice is one of the largest and most recognized on a global scale. We are the only firm ranked tier 1 in Chambers for IP on the global, European and Asia Pacific levels. More than half of the world’s top 100 brands named by the Financial Times in 2017 have chosen us to represent them.

In Spain, our team of 45 IP professionals, one of the largest in the country, offers outstanding bench strength and depth of expertise. In addition to our Madrid office, we operate out of Alicante, a key location home to the European Union Intellectual Property Office, which handles the registration and administration of European Union Trademarks and Designs. Further, we are the only major law firm with a dedicated European Union Trademark and Designs practice.

We handle the full range of IP issues, from the management of trademark portfolios to patent, design, copyright and trademark infringement litigation and enforcement actions. We represent national and international companies before the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office, the national courts, the EU Trademark Court and the EU Court of Justice. We also represent our clients before courts in many other European jurisdictions and in the US, as well as before the World Trade Organization.
