German – Italian IP partnership intensified Some time ago, the patent attorneys Müller & Schubert (Munich/Berlin) had signed a cooperation agreement with the Rome based Italian patent attorneys »Leone & Spadaro«. Recently, »Leone & Spadaro« have merged with the Italian patent attorney firm »Cantaluppi & Partners« under that name. »Cantaluppi & Partners« currently have offices in Padua, Rome and Milan. By this merger also the German - Italian - cooperation has intensified and the development of footholds in business operations in the respective neighbouring countries has been enforced. Especially, internationally operating clients of both offices will now benefit even more from the continuous exchange of experiences in the area of IP and on synergy effects derived from that partnership.
