Bird & Bird LLP

Intellectual Property

Partner

Edoardo's practice is intellectual property, particularly the protection and exploitation of innovation and information.

This led him to develop a passion and solid experience in protecting trade secrets. He provides legal and strategic advice to companies that want to protect and enhance their know-how.

Among the projects he has handled in this area, it is worth to mention the creation of a package of services for the identification and protection of secrets with the increasing support of technology and artificial intelligence.

His first and most significant area of specialisation remains patent litigation, especially in the areas of electronics, telecommunications (including so-called Standard Essential Patents) and life sciences (medical devices and pharmaceuticals).

He also assists several clients in the management and defense of their trademark and design portfolios.

He has authored publications related to trade secrets and regularly attend seminars and conferences on the subject.

He helped create the NEXT® project, a training program focused on soft skills dedicated to the next generation of general counsels.

Edoardo joined Bird & Bird in 2007 as an intern and was promoted to partner in 2021.
