Analysis: This intellectual property boutique covers the full range of trademark and patent work, as well as copyright, IP litigation and enforcement, and technology transfer cases. It is one of the few Brazilian IP firms with several offices across the country: in addition to its headquarters in Rio de Janeiro, it has branches in Curitiba and São Paulo. It stands out from its competitors in the IP field thanks to its German desk, which is staffed with lawyers with backgrounds in German and European law who regularly act for clients such as Adidas, ThyssenKrupp and Merck. The team recently defended French casino group Guichard Perrachon in a trademark and unfair competition litigation case before the Brazilian state and federal courts as well as the Superior Court of Justice.
