"Zurich-based Rentsch Partner provides holistic brand-related services, thanks to a model by which it handles prosecution and litigation and enforcement matters on an integrated basis. Another USP of the firm is a deep bench; it has 31 lawyers and patent attorneys, many of whom bring high-level trademark expertise to the table. Rentsch Partner is in a good groove at the moment; its filing numbers are up in terms of Swiss and international trademark applications and it has recently taken significant steps in its move towards a paperless future. The ensemble’s top brand specialist is Gregor Wild, a global IP thinker who makes light work of managing valuable worldwide trademark portfolios. The practice identifies four other partners as leading trademark experts – Maria Iskic, Matthias Städeli, Christian Hilti and Demian Stauber – all of whom also make the WTR 1000 cut. Iskic is an expert in the consumer goods, life sciences and computing fields and a talented transactional and disputes practitioner. Städeli is in his element in complex litigation involving multiple types of claim. Hilti is a thought leader who has published important works on IP and competition law; he is also a seasoned practitioner with a strong following in the luxury field. Stauber is a key contact for innovative companies in need of litigation and licensing support."

"Operating on both sides of the contentious/non-contentious divide, Rentsch Partner is one of the best firms for patent work in Switzerland. The group aids clientele at every stage of the patent lifecycle, and its practitioners are proactive, committed to the client and at the top of their fields. The team handles applications smoothly, even if they fall under new categories.” On the contentious front are Christian Hilti and Demian Stauber. Alongside patent attorney Louis Lagler, they come highly recommended: “Stauber has been very supportive in the past in developing an IP strategy and has been part of the strategy workshops with our business units alongside Hilti and Lagler. With their help, we have been able to raise and develop our staff’s awareness of functioning IP strategy.” Lagler has broad knowledge in the field of IP and knows how to use it well. Creativity, reliable work, swift response times and a great grasp of technical details are just some of the characteristics of Lagler that patrons appreciate. They benefit from his commitment to their business needs and an interest in technical developments. Also holding down the fort on the non-contentious side are Dany Vogel, Andrea Carreira and Alfred Köpf. “Vogel has profound knowledge in new technologies. His expertise is of the greatest benefit to every client. He is committed to his clientele and offers goal-oriented discussions.” Combining almost three decades of experience and in-depth life sciences expertise, Carreira is an asset to those seeking litigation and arbitration support. “With a pragmatic approach and an open-minded attitude, Köpf is an expert on patent applications related to all kinds of technology."
