Founded over 150 years ago,CASALONGAis a leading European IP law firm consisting of more than 120 lawyers, trademark and patent attorneys, attorneys-at-law and engineers with offices in France (including Paris, Grenoble, Toulouse, Montpellier, Beaune, Pau, Nantes), Spain (Alicante) and Germany (Munich), as well as a global network of correspondents.

CASALONGA was:

• one of the first private IP engineer consultant firms, with the foundation of Bureau CASALONGA in Paris in 1867.
• one of the first French firms to expand internationally, with the establishment of:
• the Munich office in 1978, as a European & German patent attorneys office
• the Alicante office in 1996, handling of EU trademarks

to optimize contacts with European authorities, intervene directly before the EPO (Munich) and the EUIPO (Alicante) at lower costs and to represent our clients before German and Spanish offices and courts.

• the first law firm to include both attorneys-at-law & trademark and patent attorneys in France, creating a full-service IP firm whose clients do not have to engage different firms for prosecution and litigation. The combination of attorneys-at-law and trademark and patent attorneys enables CASALONGA’s teams to follow their client’s cases from the inception phase through any court proceedings and also provides more balanced advice, taking into consideration litigations risks.

CASALONGAoffers its clients full IP services, from prosecution and counselling to litigation, covering all types of IP rights (trademarks, patents, designs, domain names, copyright, etc.) and related laws (unfair competition, distribution, economic rights, etc.).

The firm’s attorneys have extensive experience in proceedings before the trademark and patent offices and regularly appear before the courts.

Dealing with issues that are at heart of the European and international agenda, CASALONGA advises its clients in defining, implementing, and driving their strategies, as well as preventing risks related to intellectual property, in France and worldwide.
