Long considered one of the main players in media and advertising law, Deprez Guignot & Associés advises industry leaders such as Prisma Presse, AFP, Richemont, Dior and DDB. This year, leading media and competition law partner Pierre Deprez continues to defend French retailer Casino and Nestec in a patent infringement case against Nespresso on the retailing of coffee capsules intended for Nespresso devices. On another retail front, partner Frédéric Dumont advised ITM Entreprises' retail subsidiary Intermarche in trade mark litigation over its Labell brand and Beiersdorf's famous Labello brand, which resulted in a settlement and coexistence agreement between the two. Deprez Guignot & Associés is also leveraging its earlier focus on IT and internet technologies into an expanding patent law practice.
