A&L Goodbody is one of the biggest corporate firms in Ireland, and therefore has a broad reach of work that can often involve different aspects of intellectual property, including from the life sciences, EU competition and tax groups at the firm. A&L is a solid practice for IP work on its own accord, however, and as such justifies being ranked in the second Tier for both patent and trade mark contentious work. The firm also has qualified trade mark and patent agents. Head of intellectual property John Wheelan manages a team that has been involved in most of the significant patent and trade mark cases in Ireland in recent years.
Also worth looking at is the firm's IP and technology blog, www.irelandip.com, which clients find is a good way to keep on top of developments in Ireland.
