Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property is the legal discipline concerning the products of the creative and inventive activity of humans (trademarks, patents, models, designs, images and photographs, creative and artistic works, software, databases, trade secrets, know-how…). According to a survey conducted by the Italian financial newspaper IlSole24Ore-Statista, the Canella Camaiora Law Firm has been awarded as one of the best Italian law firms in the area of Intellectual Property for the third year in a row (2020-2021-2022).

It is worth remembering that beyond the legal regulations on competition and intellectual property, entrepreneurs are free. Intellectual property rights are essentially time-limited, exclusive exploitation rights. When claiming counterfeiting, plagiarism or infringement, one must be sure that the right being asserted is valid, effective and still in force. Conversely, in the event of being accused of having copied, “copying” may actually be considered our right if the patent title (or the copyright) is invalid or expired. In other words, it is always essential to rely on the professional support of an intellectual property expert.
