This department consists of an ad hoc team of some of the firm’s most experienced engineers and legal experts, who regularly encounter litigation cases and have a clear understanding of the technical and legal complexity involved. Some of the members of the department have specialised training on “patent litigation in Europe” and others are qualified both as engineers and lawyers.
