V&A Law’s intellectual property practice covers the full spectrum of intellectual property rights, as well as adjacent issues related to advertising and media, Food and Drug Administration regulation and compliance, domain names, border control, and licensing, franchising, and commercialization. V&A Law provides multifaceted and comprehensive legal services tailor-fit to the client’s specific needs and objectives.

V&A Law is known for its speed, accuracy, and efficiency in IP prosecution, which stems from its highly systematic and team-based process. Its exceptional Patent Team comprised of lawyers with diverse technical backgrounds in medicine, molecular biology, physics, chemistry, and materials science, enables the Firm to competently draft patent specifications and to effectively respond to substantive examination objections in house.

V&A Law also boasts of a highly competent IP Litigation Team with an excellent track record for high profile cases before both regular courts and administrative bodies. V&A Law ensures that the nuances of intellectual property cases are specifically addressed, resulting not only in big ticket wins, but also in creating important judicial precedents in the field of intellectual property in the Philippines. V&A Law successfully argued at the Supreme Court level for the indictment of the officers and stockholders of corporations for IP rights violations in relation to the illegal refilling activities of Petron Corporation’s liquefied petroleum gas cylinders – a reversal of previous decisions allowing individual officers to escape liability through the use of the corporate veil. 

V&A Law’s strong partnerships and collaborations with experienced law firms around the world provide an excellent and trusted network for its clients’ intellectual property needs across multiple jurisdictions.
