Hogan Lovells International LLP's trade mark practice was recently able to further expand its portfolio of high-profile German and international clients, which is not least due to the group's broad positioning and its range of advice encompassing both contentious and non-contentious issues. In addition to classic strategic advice and cross-border proceedings, this also includes trend topics such as ESG and influencer marketing. Litigator Andreas Bothe heads the German IPMT group, which also includes Yvonne Draheim, who specialises in trade mark infringement proceedings. Anthonia Ghalamkarizadeh made partner in January 2023 and primarily advises on digital issues, often in the gaming and e-sports sectors. At counsel level, Patrick Fromlowitz advises clients from the pharmaceutical, construction and fashion industries.
