Description
Founded to focus specifically on IP, Powell Gilbert is one of the most highly regarded and innovative IP litigation and advisory teams in Europe. We are uniquely positioned to navigate the complex and commercially critical IP matters faced by our clients.
We have been involved in some of the most high-profile and ground-breaking pieces of European patent litigation, across a wide range of technologies and industries, and regularly feature in the top tier of the legal directories for IP and patent litigation, winning awards for our work.
As well as our renowned IP litigation experience in the UK and Germany, we are regarded by many as the go-to firm for advising on, and co-ordinating, IP disputes across Europe. With an exceptional team, many of whom have strong scientific and technical backgrounds, our depth of experience and proven track record means that we are ideally placed to advise clients on European patent litigation strategy, including the potential options provided by the Unified Patent Court (UPC).
With many of our litigators registered as UPC representatives, we have been active in representing clients in the UPC since it opened its doors in June 2023. Our experience includes cases before many of the Local Divisions, including the various German Local Divisions, the Nordic-Baltic Regional Division, the three branches of the Central Divisions and the Court of Appeal, with members of our team advising on procedural strategies, preparing written submissions and also acting as oral advocates at hearings.
We work with organisations of all sizes – from start-ups to multinationals – across a range of knowledge, technology and brand-based industries, including pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, electronics, telecommunications, medical devices, energy technologies and consumer goods. Our experience ranges from acting in many of the earliest and most complex biotechnology patent cases, to advising on some of the largest telecoms disputes and enforcing trade mark rights against counterfeits in the luxury goods sector.
In addition to litigating all aspects of IP rights, we regularly advise clients on complex technology contract disputes, both in the courts and in confidential arbitrations. We also assist clients with IP portfolio assessments and freedom to operate projects.
