ADVANT Altana is active in contentious patent matters, and often advises on patent infringement, invalidity and ownership claims and injunction actions. Cross-border disputes are a key driver of work for the group, which acts for clients in the telecoms, electronics and medical industries. The practice, which is led by the triumvirate of Armand Aviges, Pierre Lubet, and Jean-Guy de Ruffray, is equally adept at assisting with non-contentious matters, and the team is well versed in assisting with R&D agreements, the management of patents pertaining to inventions, patent audits and licensing matters, to name a few areas of strength.
