Italy Intellectual Property and Data Protection

Orrick’s offices in Italy provide clients with local civil and criminal litigation services, including representation before all courts, at all levels, in all matters relating to civil, commercial, corporate, employment, and intellectual property law disputes.

Our Milan lawyers also regularly represent plaintiffs and defendants in patent, copyright, and trademark infringement actions (including before the competent European and Community offices in Alicante and Munich), as well as in unfair competition and trade secret actions. Additionally, our lawyers counsel companies on intellectual property assets, e-commerce service matters, privacy issues, and procurement of patents and trademarks.

The Italian team is supported by Orrick’s internationally recognized intellectual property law group, networked throughout the firm’s offices around the world. Our IP team includes lawyers, who are also scientists and engineers, and who provide a broad range of IP services.
