Practice Areas

Howrey’s Amsterdam office has specialists in the fields of intellectual property law and competition law. Howrey’s IP-attorneys operate in all fields of intellectual property law, such as patent law, trademark law and advertising law. Howrey also has several in-house patent attorneys who work in a wide range of specialist areas (such as the chemical industry, biotechnology and electronics). The close cooperation between the attorneys and patent attorneys guarantees efficient and integrated advice and litigation.

Our specialists in competition law assist our clients in solving their competition law problems at a national and European level. These relate not only to e.g. mergers, state aid and abuse of a dominant position; the operation of intellectual property rights can also give rise to questions of competition law. The grant or refusal of a license or the enforcement of an intellectual property right, for example, may have consequences for your company’s position under competition law.
