Safeguarding Visual Innovation: Strategic Protection and enforcement of Design

We provide high-level legal representation in design litigation, helping businesses and creators protect the visual identity of their products in an increasingly competitive and fast-moving market. We act in complex disputes involving both registered and unregistered designs, ensuring our clients’ rights are enforced swiftly and strategically before Italian and European courts.

Our team is experienced in representing clients in design infringement cases, validity challenges, and unfair competition claims arising from the imitation of protected product appearance. Our work spans industries where design is central to value: fashion, furniture, packaging, consumer electronics, automotive, and beyond.

Design disputes often involve overlapping intellectual property rights. Our team provides integrated legal strategies that consider the interplay between design rights, trademarks, and copyright, positioning each case with precision and tactical foresight. 

Many design-related conflicts extend beyond national borders. Our firm regularly handles cross-border litigation and parallel proceedings across multiple jurisdictions, coordinating these matters effectively through a network of trusted international partners, ensuring coherent and forceful enforcement strategies at the European level.

We view design enforcement as a vital tool for defending innovation, market differentiation, and brand integrity. We work closely with designers, in-house legal teams, and technical experts ensuring that creative investments are robustly protected and legally enforceable across all relevant markets.
