Our IP Practice Group, composed of seasoned legal professionals and numerous science graduates, offers a unique “one-stop shop” in Israel for patent protection, enforcement, and strategic dispute resolution. We are exceptionally well-positioned to both secure and defend patent rights, as well as to challenge third-party patents in high-stakes proceedings.

By combining deep legal insight, scientific fluency, and a commercial mindset, we deliver comprehensive counsel across the full patent lifecycle – from portfolio strategy to litigation, including oppositions, revocations, and infringement disputes, on both the offensive and defensive sides of patent litigation. We frequently coordinate with global legal teams on cross-border patent enforcement and strategy.

Consistently ranked in the top tier by Chambers Global, The Legal 500, Managing IP, and IAM Patent 1000, our patent practice is widely regarded as a market leader. As described by a peer, we are “the first name you think of in Israel for litigation – the number one”. We have played a central role in shaping Israeli patent law and practice for well over 50 years, with our patent specialists continuing to be actively involved in legislative reform and regularly contributing to landmark case law that defines the field.
