Intellectual Property and New Technologies (IP&IT)

We offer specialised and comprehensive assistance in the field of intellectual property and IT, supporting clients in the protection, management and defence - in contractual, litigation and/or regulatory matters - of patents, trademarks, domain names, copyright, know-how and trade secrets. Our team also assists companies in the adoption of new technologies, helping them to draft and negotiate contracts for cloud computing (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS), software, IT outsourcing, e-commerce (B2B and B2C) and digital services in general, ensuring strategic and customised solutions to protect our clients' most valuable assets.

We also provide advice on compliance with national and EU regulations on digital services and new technologies (including, for example, the AI Act, the Data Act and digital single market legislation). We also offer cross-cutting expertise in extraordinary transactions, ensuring that business models, data flows and technological solutions comply with regulatory requirements and are aligned with the client's strategic objectives.

Our experience also extends to unfair competition, advertising and, in general, litigation before Italian judicial and/or administrative authorities - in synergy with the litigation department - or sectoral regulatory authorities (AGCM, AGCOM), or, in matters relating to trademarks, patents and domain names, before Italian courts or supranational bodies such as the UPC, EUIPO courts or authorities responsible for alternative dispute resolution (the so-called “ADR”) procedures, ensuring an integrated approach that combines legal, technical and strategic expertise. With us, companies can protect their innovative products and ideas, reduce risks and enhance their intellectual assets in Italy and abroad.
