Intellectual Property

About

Provided by William Fry LLP

William Fry continue to be Ireland’s largest full service dedicated intellectual property team with 21 members. The strength of our team, the quality of our transactions, experience and clients all attest to the fact that William Fry is unquestionably the top ranked Intellectual property practice in Ireland.

We have dedicated and coordinated teams for both commercial and contentious matters, a fact which continues to differentiate us from competitors, whose teams are not split along such lines and whose expertise does not match ours. These teams, include 13 solicitors registered as Irish and Community Trade Mark and Design Attorneys and a paralegal (also registered) who manages the day to day operation of our full service trade mark and design practice. We operate a full trade mark and design prosecution service with some of the largest portfolios in Ireland under our management (Afilias, Diageo, Boyne Valley, Valeo Foods, Wendy’s, Coolmore Stud, Sears Brands, LLC & Sandy Lane Hotel Group). Our contentious IP team is involved in the majority of the large-scale trade mark / patent disputes that come before the Irish Courts.

We are recognised as Ireland's leading practice for large scale IP litigation, particularly patent and trade mark litigation in the pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device fields.
