We are a Swiss intellectual property law firm based in Geneva, advising clients on the protection, enforcement and strategic management of intellectual property rights. Established in 2009 by Paul Cosmovici, our firm was built on a long-standing legal tradition and has developed into a trusted adviser for businesses operating in complex, cross-border environments.

We provide a comprehensive IP offering, covering the entire lifecycle of intellectual property assets. We advise on trademarks, designs, patents, copyright and related rights, domain names, trade secrets and know-how, as well as unfair competition, counterfeiting and border measures. Our work spans from IP clearance and filing strategies to portfolio management, enforcement actions, litigation and IP-driven commercial transactions.

At Cosmovici IP, we recognise that intellectual property is the ultimate expression of intangible value—requiring sound judgment, strategic thinking, risk mitigation and foresight. Beyond procedures and registrations, IP decisions are business-critical and often time-sensitive. As IP specialists, we pair deep technical expertise with a distinctly human approach, characterised by very fast response times, a dynamic and flexible way of working, and an ethical mindset that places people and real business needs at the centre of our practice. These elements consistently differentiate us in the eyes of our clients and define how we deliver value.

We are particularly recognised for our expertise in trademark law and brand protection. We assist clients with global filing strategies, monitoring and opposition proceedings, and the development of coherent brand protection programmes aligned with business growth objectives. On the contentious side, we represent clients before competent authorities and courts in matters involving infringement, unfair competition and counterfeiting, as well as in domain name disputes and enforcement proceedings at the border.

In addition to prosecution and enforcement, we are actively involved in transactional IP matters. Our experience includes negotiating and drafting licence, assignment and coexistence agreements, as well as advising on IP aspects of mergers and acquisitions, including due diligence exercises. This integrated approach enables us to support clients not only in securing rights, but also in maximising their commercial value.

A core strength of our practice lies in our ability to manage international IP portfolios efficiently. Acting as a central point of coordination, we oversee multi-jurisdictional filings and enforcement strategies, working closely with trusted foreign counsel while maintaining direct, transparent and responsive communication with our clients.

Through our international network, we provide protection and strategic coordination in over 180 jurisdictions worldwide.

We advise a broad range of clients, from startups and growing businesses to established international companies, across sectors such as technology, life sciences and pharmaceuticals, luxury and fashion, FMCG and digital industries. We maintain an active presence within the international IP community and are involved in leading professional organisations including INTA, ECTA and MARQUES, ensuring continuous exposure to evolving legal developments and best practices.

By combining technical excellence, commercial awareness and a human-centred, responsive approach, we position ourselves as a reliable long-term partner for clients seeking effective and strategic intellectual property protection.
