Bird & Bird

With a robust offering that covers patent litigation, prosecution, and advisory services, the IP group at Bird & Bird is well placed to advise on domestic and cross-border matters across an array of sectors, most notably tech,  pharmaceuticals, and life sciences. José Miguel Lissén, who has a wealth of experience in the licensing and protection of patents, heads the team with IP prosecution and enforcement expert Mariano Santos; both practitioners are regularly called upon by clients from the biotech, electronics, and life sciences sectors. The department also benefits from the aptitude of Manuel Lobato, who shines in multijurisdictional patent litigation involving pharmaceuticals,  and Cintia Bernhardt, who focuses on patent litigation and enforcement in the media, telecoms, and e-commerce industries.
