«The deep talent pool at Casalonga can handle every patent brief going, from prosecution to portfolio management and must-win disputes. Dedicated mechanics, life sciences/pharmaceuticals and electronics/telecommunications teams provide keen industry insight; supplementary protection certification (SPC) issues have become a real speciality. Francis Zapalowicz and Gerard Dossmann take up the baton on the non-contentious front. Zapalowicz previously worked as an R&D engineer in the aerospace industry and is thus an authority in the field; while Dossmann has a superb track record before the EPO’s Opposition Division and Boards of Appeal, and has also been entrusted with the training of African judges at the World Intellectual Property Organisation.»
