Intellectual Property
“The lawyers at Gómez-Acebo & Pombo are very commercially minded, with a practical approach.”
Our Intellectual Property team has been the market leader in Spain since its foundation. This positioning is also endorsed by the main legal directories Chambers & Partners and Legal500, which have traditionally granted it the highest recognition in their lists, as well as other specialized directories, such as IP Star and WTR, among others.
The area is organized into three specialized groups that offer comprehensive services in patents, trademarks and copyrights in both contractual and litigation matters. In addition to industrial and intellectual property rights (patents, designs, trademarks and copyrights, among others), the area also covers unfair competition, advertising, new technologies, trade secrets and data protection.
The size of our practice, as well as the proven experience of our professionals in advising leading companies in their respective sectors, allows us to handle simultaneously in parallel several highly complex and international matters.
