Founded in Paris in 1920, Gide is a premier international law firm with 14 offices spread throughout the world.
Gide is physically present in six regions of the world, with 12 offices, enabling it to act on cases globally.
With a presence in Brussels since 1967, Gide has gained outstanding experience in European litigation. The lawyers in Gide’s Brussels office regularly appear before the Court of Justice and General Court of the European Union, making Gide one of the most active firms in this field. This combination of Gide’s experience in EU dispute resolution and IP matters is a major advantage for businesses.
The first main area of European IP disputes in which Gide is active are challenges to the validity of trademarks and designs registered by the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM), whether oppositions or invalidity actions.
Gide is equally comfortable acting before the OHIM, the General Court (which has exclusive competence over appeals from the OHIM Board of Appeal, which in turn hears appeals to first instance decisions made by the OHIM), and the Court of Justice (in case of further appeal).
Gide’s second main area of expertise in Community IP disputes regards questions referred to the Court of Justice by national courts of member states.
In these cases, Gide is involved in all areas of intellectual property (trademarks, designs, supplementary protection certificates, etc.) falling under the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice.
