Patents

The range and depth of our global patents practice is renowned. Our team works seamlessly with clients and other firms across time zones and jurisdictions to provide unparalleled advice and assistance in litigation, transactions, risk management and strategic matters.

We provide comprehensive patent litigation, protection and strategic advisory services, with legal insight and technical acumen leaving us best positioned to help clients safeguard and defend their most valuable assets and products, mitigate risks, and maximise commercial opportunities in an evolving landscape.  

Whether it’s bet-the-company patent litigation, a strategic market-driven case or defence in a competitor lawsuit, our team is among the go-to firms for companies involved in patent disputes. Our patent litigation team has a loyal client base of companies both large and small who hire us because we understand their businesses and because we work closely with them to achieve winning outcomes.

Our record for acting before the courts in patent litigation – often on cases that are novel and key for our clients’ industries – is market-leading. Our team brings extensive courtroom experience before the courts and tribunals and a deep bench of technical advisers. With lead trial counsel involvement from the outset of each matter, we are a trusted partner for contentious and non-contentious matters regarding products of the highest commercial value and are instructed by our clients on their most business-critical assets and the world's top-selling products. 

We are particularly well known for our expertise at trial and in running complex, multi-jurisdictional IP disputes. On cross-border matters, we often coordinate for our clients, managing and supervising litigation through our own local teams and other law firms worldwide. This gives the dual strengths of having a deep understanding of local markets and the capabilities of a leading global law firm.
