Established IP firm Domnern Somgiat & Boonma maintains its 'well-deserved position' at the forefront of the market, where it handles a substantial amount of trade mark and patent applications for foreign companies in Thailand. The team is experienced in trade mark and patent prosecutions spanning Southeast Asia, including Vietnam and Myanmar. Nettaya Warncke, Rutorn Nopakun, Kiat Poonsombudlert and Chakrapat Mongkolsit are recommended.
Tilleke & Gibbins has a top reputation for its IP practice. The 43-strong team is supported by 19 patent and trade mark agents, and acts on all IP-related matters, including litigation, infringement, enforcement and investigation. PTT Chemical, Seiko Epson Corporation and Beiqi Foton Motor Co are all clients. The team also manages the trade mark portfolio for Oishi Group. Alan Adcock and Darani Vachanavuttivong are recommended.
The 'solutions-orientated' team at Baker & McKenzie provides 'very practical, concise advice' on IP issues, particularly those relating to media, entertainment, telecoms, internet content and regulation. Say Sujintaya acted for a Japanese automobile manufacturer in a matter concerning counterfeit products. Dhiraphol Suwanprateep provides ‘practical advice with good legal and policy backing‘, and advised a television network in an appeal case relating to a trade mark registration.

Edward Kelly departed in 2012 for an in-house position in Hong Kong.
Since its foundation in early 2011, Ananda Intellectual Property has gone from strength to strength. Its 'personalised and cost-effective service' is considered a boon to global clients, who seek its advice on patents and trade marks, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector, as well as for its IP portfolio management and contentious expertise.
