Overseas Associates
Dehns is retained by associates from all over the world for intellectual property matters in Europe and the UK. We can provide any desired level of service from simple, efficient reporting of matters with comments only on specific European or UK issues to full analysis and advice. In all cases we are always happy to advise how best to carry out instructions to optimise your client's position under local practice and to minimise cost.
We hope the briefing notes below will be of help in understanding European practice better, but please get in touch at mail@dehns.com if you'd like anything more specific.
