Marion Jacob, LL.M.

I am a Senior Counsel in our Intellectual Property team with a focus on trade marks and related rights. With much experience and pleasure I dedicate myself in particular to all aspects of international brand management, including the development of brand strategies and all registry proceedings before German and European offices and courts.

Advising national as well as international clients on nearly all aspects of trade mark law and related issues, I have gathered particular expertise in international portfolio management, including legal clearance searches, the development and implementation of global branding strategies, and all kinds of contentious and non-contentious proceedings before the German and European offices and courts.

My constant practice also comprises multi-jurisdictional disputes as well as the drafting and negotiation of - sometimes very complex - contracts, such as coexistence or settlement agreements, license and transfer agreements.

My clients appreciate among other things my thoroughness and attention to detail, which can make all the difference. At the same time, I have developed a good sense for individually tailored, business-oriented and economically sensible approaches and solutions.

• Many years of continuous representation of a leading European publishing house in trade mark matters including its international portfolio management, trade mark clearances, contentious and non-contentious proceedings before the German PTO, the EUIPO and the Bundespatentgericht as well as negotiating of and advising on various agreements such as coexistence, licencing and transfer agreements.
• Advising a consumer goods manufacturer on various registry proceedings including proceedings before the European Court and managing multi-jurisdictional disputes.
• Representing a global leading automobile manufacturer, in particular in opposition proceedings, and advising on trade mark related contractual matters.
• Advising various start-ups, including from the software and IT industry, on the launch of new brands, developing international trademark strategies, minimizing risks and registry proceedings.
