Testimonials

2026

"I particularly like the hands-on approach of Alexis Fierens. He has a sharp business focused mind."

Clarification concerning jurisdictional reach and latest stats released by the court were also among the top talking points in recent weeks
Publication of the UPC’s annual report and adoption of the procedural rules of the Patent Mediation and Arbitration Centre were also among major developments
The variety of winners demonstrates that the UPC is now a core benchmark rather than an experimental consideration, while junior lawyers are becoming more deeply involved in key work
Ruth Hoy will join the firm's IP practice alongside Huw Cookson, who will also become a partner
A further decision on long-arm status, and a new hire for Pentarc in Germany from Taylor Wessing were also among top developments
The latest in a dispute over juicing machines, and a shakeup in judicial compositions were also among the top developments
Two partners have departed DLA Piper to join Squire Patton Boggs and Blank Rome in San Francisco and Chicago, respectively
Practitioners warn that closing the Denver regional office could trigger a domino effect, threatening local innovation and access to IP resources
