Arenaire, a boutique firm exclusively dedicated to intellectual property, serves a diverse clientele comprising major companies, innovative SMEs, and high-profile clients hailing from various industries, with notable expertise in the fashion, luxury, technology, and pharmaceutical sectors. Co-headed by Pierre Massot and Lentini Thibault, the trade mark practice has earned a stellar reputation, benefitting from the extensive experience of both leaders in trade mark law, encompassing design protection and counterfeiting matters. The team also boasts significant activity in the realm of IP litigation, with a track record of handling cases related to customs litigation. Mythili Thaya further supports the team, having made substantial contributions to encourage the European Court of Justice to revise its case-law regarding the concept of similarity of signs in the context of well-known trade marks, with the aim of enhancing the effectiveness of their protection.
