Patent litigation, contentious and non-contentious trade mark matters and the negotiation and drafting of IP agreements and transactions are all key areas for the intellectual property practice at A&O Shearman. Practice head Peter Van Dyck‘s practice straddles strategic IP litigation and transactional work with an IP component, and Geert Glas has a proven track record in cross-border IP litigation and also works as an arbitrator for the World Intellectual Property Organization. Tine Carmeliet further extends the contentious and advisory experience at the firm. Edward Taelman left the firm in March 2024.
