Intellectual Property

The team assists companies in the creation, valorisation, commercialisation and protection of the results of their inventive and developmental activities, providing specialised assistance in patents for inventions and utility models, trademarks and domain names, know-how and trade secrets, design, software and copyright, information technology, unfair competition and employee inventions.

Professionals support clients from the inception of their innovative and creative processes, maximising value through non-disclosure agreements, collaboration agreements, technology-transfer arrangements with universities and research centres, joint-development and co-production contracts, joint-venture and consortium agreements, as well as providing cross-industry strategic advice with the support of CBA’s labour, tax and finance teams.

The team also issues legal opinions on the validation of emerging technology and digital business models (Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, machine learning and digital twins).

The main sectors of activity are:

  • Food & beverage;
  • Fashion, sporting goods and luxury;
  • Energy;
  • Automotive, aerospace and defense;
  • Mechanical engineering, electronics and semiconductors;
  • IT & computer technology;
  • Medical devices, pharmaceuticals and life sciences;
  • Gaming, music and entertainment in general.
