MD Lawyers International Law Firm | Advocaten
Our Intellectual Property Lawyers in The Netherlands (Holland) may help you to protect your intellectual property rights (trademarks, patents, copyrights, utility models) against infringements made by Dutch or foreign entities in the Netherlands. Our IP attorneys provide extrajudicial and judicial assistance about  patents, trademarks, design, domain names, unfair competition and antitrust law. Concerning the Intellectual Property Litigation in The Netherlands, our Dutch attorneys verify the concrete situation according to the Dutch Law, informing the Client if there are infringements made by another party, suggesting the right solutions to solve the matter amicably and, in case it is needed to go in front of a Dutch Court, we are able to represent the Client in first instance, appeal and in front of the Supreme Court. In case of urgency (for example a trademark or a patent are counterfeit or infringed), the Dutch Law provide the remedy of a court injunction that will bring the seizure of the counterfeit trademarks, patents or other intellectual property rights in two working days. The requirements are:
  • only a lawyer may file this petition;
  • the plaintiff has to prove he is the owner of the trademark or of the patent;
  • the plaintiff has to prove the violation that has to be clear and evident.
We also take care also of arbitrations in The Netherlands concerning intellectual property.
