Jones Day - Services - Europe

Our full service practice in Europe handles both self-standing European matters and the European side of multi-jurisdictional matters. Our capabilities and experience in patent and trademark prosecution (including oppositions), enforcement in the primary European jurisdictions (UK, Germany and France), co-ordination of European-wide disputes as well as licensing and transactions mean we are well-placed to assist clients in negotiating the complex IP scene in Europe.

Patent Litigation

The national systems for patent litigation differ from country to country making it vital that business has access to specialists in each jurisdiction. Patent litigation in Europe also often takes place across several jurisdictions simultaneously requiring careful co-ordination.

They are experienced in all industry sectors and many of them have technical backgrounds.
