We represent our clients in the relevant courts of Albania which are important in intellectual property (IP) matters.
Our Albanian IP team understand how to exploit the procedural and tactical possibilities these forums offer in terms, for example, of securing evidence or obtaining fast interim relief or a speedy hearing. This enables us to co-ordinate litigation and settlement strategies to achieve the right business outcome for our clients.
Frequently, a firm technical understanding is crucial to securing success. Many of us have technical backgrounds and industry experience and can advise with confidence in cases involving the most complex technology.

- Jurisdictional patent litigation both in the life sciences and technology areas.
- Trade mark litigation at the highest levels, including before the Albanian District Court, Court of Appeal or Supreme Court.
- Disputes relating to trademark’s infringement in the Albanian jurisdiction.
