German – Italian IP partnership agreement The patent attorneys Müller & Schubert (Munich/Berlin) have signed a partnership agreement with the Italian patent attorneys Leone & Spadaro, who are based in Rome. Because of this move, both law firms now have a foothold in business operations in the respective neighbouring countries. Furthermore, as well as the continuous exchange of experiences in the area of IP synergy effects, both law firms expect to be able to profit from the internationally operating mandates of both offices.
