Andreas Bothe
Hall of fameHogan Lovells International LLPHogan Lovells International LLP's trade mark expertise is housed within its Intellectual Property, Media & Technology practice, therefore rendering it excellently equipped for interface advice, but also equally convincing as an independent advisor on trade mark and design matters. Here, clients are advised on the registration and enforcement of trade marks and the management of global trade mark portfolios, while the practice also covers future-oriented issues such as trade mark protection for virtual products. Litigation lawyer Andreas Bothe leads the team and appears in cross-border disputes before courts and authorities, which are also facilitated by the practice group's international network, particularly with its office in Alicante. Yvonne Draheim combines her experience in trade marks with skills in competition, domain and copyright law, while counsel Patrick Fromlowitz handles related dispute resolution as well as strategic cases and licensing agreements.
