Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'When it comes to IP matters, what is good about the team is their response times when dealing with the required processes, as well as their speed in handling the registration process in countries where we haven't used the mark before.'
- 'They have the same level of experience as other teams, but what sets them apart is their fast responses and ability to deal with registrations in other countries or regions. We were very happy with the service provided by Carlos Úbeda.'
