It is a specialist patent litigation boutique with one of Europe's most experienced Unified Patent Court (UPC) teams. Founded by leading patent litigators, the firm focuses exclusively on contentious intellectual property matters, representing both patentees and defendants in high-value, strategically significant disputes across Europe.
