He actively contributes to the IP scene through various journals. Paola Stefanelli excels in extrajudicial enforcement and geographical indication. Her strategic thinking, meticulous attention to detail and dedication to protecting intellectual property make her invaluable for managing high-profile trademark portfolios.

Cosa dicono di noi:

“It has been a busy 12 months for industrial property consultancy Bugnion, having recently embarked on a merger with Cuccia & Simino, which will further strengthen the group’s robust offering and add to an already deep bench.

Of Stefanelli, one patron enthuses: “Paola is always well prepared, advises effectively and solves problems in a very clever way. She makes sure that we have all the relevant factors to consider before we make a decision.” “Simone stands out for his robust technical approach, pragmatism and creativity. He is a first-class professional who finds the best solution to every case; his efficiency is extraordinary.” Mannini and Angelini also receive rave reviews. “Alessandro’s work is exceptionally done and always timely.

He is an effective advocate and works well with opposing counsel to resolve matters before they spiral into expensive and unresolvable disputes.” Joining the troop in the guide this year, Ferro “always pulls through for his clients. He is super-helpful, understands the nuances of Italian practice and thinks costeffectively”.
