Intellectual Property

The field of intellectual property and information technologies confronts the new technological revolution daily, gradually transforming the entire economy.

If new problems require new legal solutions, at Almeida Legal, we have professionals with expertise in industrial property that enables us to provide truly comprehensive and integral advisory services.

We protect our clients’ intangible assets from a complete, practical, and strategic perspective, providing them with useful, definitive, and decisive solutions for their success, clearly respecting their business needs.

Tailoring our work to our clients’ needs, we prefer negotiation over litigation, as our priority is to solve problems swiftly, economically, and effectively.

However, we possess expertise, with our team equipped with tools that enable us to resolve disputes regarding patent and CCP (Utility Model Certificate) infringement, as well as processes concerning the validity of patents and CCPs in Portugal.

We have extensive experience in litigation and arbitration in industrial and intellectual property, digital business, unfair competition, and advertising.

We provide comprehensive advisory services tailored to our clients concerning privacy, personal data protection, privacy policies, databases, consumer protection, trade secrets, as well as technology transfer.

Advisory services concerning contractual and contentious matters aimed at protecting fundamental rights, including freedom of expression and information, the right to honour, privacy, and image protection.

Additionally, in matters of industrial property, we offer advice on trademark registration, patents, models, and industrial designs.
