How we work
Our methodology for this service
Strategic litigation analysis
We assess the strength of the client's rights, the alleged or suffered infringement and the prospects of success based on current case law to define the most efficient litigation strategy.
Expert evidence preparation
We coordinate with technical experts in intellectual and industrial property to produce expert reports supporting the client's claims with technical rigour and argumentative clarity.
Procedural defence or attack
We act as claimant or defendant in civil and criminal proceedings for rights infringement, managing all procedural steps before the commercial courts and provincial courts.
Negotiation and settlement agreements
We actively explore negotiated solutions that allow efficient resolution of the dispute, structuring licence, assignment, coexistence or compensation agreements that protect the client's interests.
Who this is for
Companies and rights holders needing to actively defend their trademarks, patents, designs or copyright against third-party infringement. Also companies facing infringement claims who need a technically solid defence before the commercial courts.
