Linklaters

Linklaters cross-border Intellectual Property team successfully advises market-leading companies on high-profile IP litigation and complex IP-driven transactions.
We advise clients in a broad range of sectors, with a focus on IP-heavy industries such as healthcare and life sciences.
Our history of advising clients in the healthcare and life sciences sector is long and we have developed strong working relationships and a deep understanding of our client’s business environment. Many of our lawyers have technical backgrounds and therefore have in-depth understanding of complex technologies.
We support our clients with outstanding legal skills, expert sector knowledge and a pragmatic mindset in cross-border IP disputes. More specifically our litigation practice covers the full scope of dispute resolution, including court proceedings, arbitration, mediation and settlement discussions. Where possible, we aim to resolve disputes before court proceedings become necessary. However, where litigation is unavoidable, we take care to pick the right cases to pursue through the courts and continue to look for pragmatic solutions.
We tackle the entire spectrum of IP rights, including patents, supplementary protection certificates, copyrights, designs and trademarks. Our practice also covers issues of confidentiality, as well as trade secrets protection and misappropriation.
