The intellectual property system provides those who participate in it with complete and effective protection of their rights but cannot guarantee by itself, as is the case in all spheres of individual rights, that these rights will not be violated by third parties, whether due to the lack of scruples of competitors or because there are gray areas or borders between one’s own protection and that of other market participants.
For these situations, the system itself provides a series of specific legal actions that are handled by specialized courts in both administrative contentious and commercial matters, encompassing disputes against the authorities responsible for granting rights derived from intellectual property, as well as lawsuits between private parties.
The peculiar nature of these legal actions, which involve both purely legal aspects and technical aspects of the affected sector in each case, necessitates that the legal direction of such litigation be entrusted to qualified professionals. At VITRUVIO IP LEGAL, we have attorneys authorized to act before Spanish, community, and European patent courts, reaching almost all territorial jurisdictions through their extensive network of collaborating foreign lawyers. We also have qualified experts specifically in this field who are experienced in previous litigations, significantly increasing the chances of achieving satisfactory results, which largely depend on getting the judge, who may be unfamiliar with technical aspects, to understand the ultimate nature of the disputed object.
