Intellectual property, data and technology law.
Advice and litigation on patents, trade marks, copyright, software and data. Based in Brussels, European reach.
Dispute resolution
Some disputes cannot be settled at the negotiating table. We represent clients before the Belgian and EU courts in IP infringement, contract, unfair competition and technology disputes, and in reputation, defamation, press and media cases.Contracts
Well-drafted agreements protect the value of your intellectual property and technology. We draft, review and negotiate IT and SaaS contracts, software and IP licences, IP assignments, consultancy, services and outsourcing agreements, terms and conditions and NDAs.IP enforcement
Infringement of your patents, trade marks, designs or copyright costs market share and reputation, online and offline. We act to stop it with the tools the law provides: descriptive seizures, cease and desist proceedings, customs measures, takedowns and domain name disputes.Trade mark and design prosecution
A strong trade mark strategy is the foundation of brand protection. We help you choose and clear your marks, file trade marks and designs before the BOIP, the EUIPO and WIPO, and manage your portfolio across several jurisdictions, including objections from the offices, oppositions, invalidity and cancellation proceedings.Legal advice
The legal landscape keeps evolving, and contracts are not always easy to interpret. We advise on IP strategy, data protection, the AI Act, e-commerce and digital services rules, and on the scope of your contracts, both for compliance and for strategic decisions.
