The Munich-based team is ideally positioned for intra-European cases and, under the leadership of IP lawyer Jana Bogatz, advises on the development and enforcement of trade mark portfolios, for example in the context of legal disputes and border seizures. Yvonne Stone made partner in April 2024 and assists with opposition proceedings and availability searches, among other matters."
