IP boutique Grau & Angulo is widely recognised as having one of Spain's top IP teams. Its clientele includes Abercrombie & Fitch, Adidas, Burberry, BMW, Samsung, Sandoz, Teva and Sony. It doubled the size of its office in Barcelona last year and has invested in larger premises in Madrid in 2011. Recently the firm has been at the forefront of the expanding electronic patent market, advising clients including Sisvel and Philips.
Recent cases saw Alejandro Angulo and Carlota Viola execute an infringement claim for Société des Produits Nestlé and Nestlé Spain against a private individual in Chile selling products on the internet. The individual's website was subsequently blocked in Spain. Angulo and Jesús Arribas also helped Adidas successfully protect its three-stripe Community trade mark and performance logo while Javier Huarte and Miguel Gil helped Sandoz repel a preliminary injunction case by AstraZeneca.
