Service features
Intellectual property is the legal discipline which deals with the results of people’s creative and inventive activity (trademarks, patents, designs, creative and artistic works, software, databases, trade secrets, know-how, etc.). This area is normally addressed along with the discipline of unfair competition.
The first intellectual property appointment includes:
- an initial discussion, whether in the office or on-line, with the purpose of gathering information and documents useful for analysing the case and identifying the client’s needs;
- an oral legal advice, addressing the client’s questions;
- the establishment of a legal strategy aimed at the best preservation of the client’s interests.
