More than 50 Patent Attorneys and Trademark Attorneys, technically and legally educated, are active within Modiano together with our trial lawyers. This close cooperation enables our litigation team to deal with any litigation in the IP field. Patent Litigation This close contact between trial lawyers and Patent Attorneys within the same environment allows us to handle patent litigation with maximum efficiency and speed. Within the framework of such interaction, our patent attorneys and our trial lawyers discuss beforehand with the foreign attorney the technical and legal strategy of the litigation in all of its aspects, including the economic aspects. Undoubtedly, an advantageous position derives from the International attitude of our team, which permits us to provide assistance in infringement litigation decidedly influenced by the pre-existence of patents and other prior art in foreign countries. Remarkable care and attention are also devoted to preliminary injunction proceedings; no matter at what forum they are discussed, the presence of the trial lawyers and, if necessary, of the specialized patent attorneys, is always ensured. Thus the local attorneys are restricted only to minor procedural steps. Trademark Litigation In litigation relating to trademarks and their infringement, the extreme specialization, acquired throughout the world, allows our Trademark Attorneys to operate from a significant vantage position. Moreover, expert assistance is also constantly offered to foreign lawyers dealing with IP infringement or litigation in the USA, France, Great Britain, etc. on behalf of Modiano's clients, precisely because of the International experience acquired. The International orientation of our Trademark Attorneys and their language skills ensure that clear and high quality information on any developments is provided to our foreign associates.
