Intellectual Property: Trade Mark & Unfair Competition

Patent Technology & Life Sciences

As Europe’s leading patent law firm, Taylor Wessing has combined its resources from Germany and other European countries to establish a uniquely adaptable and capable UPC Group to fit exactly the needs of its clients’ specific cases in the UPC. As the UPC continues to gain momentum, our international Patents team is proud to be a leading firm in the UPC with 40 cases, which equates to almost one-fifth of cases, in some of the most dynamic sectors.

In addition, the coordination of pan-European patent litigation and product launches remains a very important business area where the group benefits from the expertise in its own offices and the proven network of corresponding law firms in all other European countries. Because we have a thorough understanding of the patent regimes in all major international jurisdictions, we can develop global patent strategies that maximise the value of intellectual property.

Trade Mark & Unfair Competition

The focus of the German group is on representing international clients in the development of new products and marketing strategies, the realization, management and safeguarding of their core assets such as trademarks, goodwill and trade secrets as well as in litigation matters for the protection and enforcement of their rights against competitors and product pirates. We advise on international advertising measures and campaigns and are known for our market-leading expertise in green advertising.
