ABOUT US

Exceptional technical and legal expertise

TCBM is an Industrial and Intellectual Property consulting boutique born from the incorporation into Bianchetti & Minoja, a historic IP consultancy firm specialising in patenting with outstanding expertise in the chemical, pharmaceutical, life science and biotech sectors, of Trevisan & Cuonzo IPS, an IP consultancy firm specialising in the engineering sector.

TCBM combines the experience of one of the most renowned intellectual property consultancy firms in Italy, Bianchetti & Minoja, founded in 1976 by Prof. Giuseppe Bianchetti, with the expertise of Trevisan & Cuonzo IPS , in order to offer Italian and international clients specialist advice across all fields of industrial and intellectual property, with a concrete and business focused approach aimed at empowering the IP portfolios of companies.

Practices

TCBM offers Italian and international clients specialist advice across all fields of Industrial and Intellectual Property, with a concrete and business focused approach aimed at empowering the IP portfolios - trademarks, patents, designs - of companies.

Patents

TCBM’s patent attorneys work alongside companies to protect their technological innovation insofar as it represents a powerful driver of competitiveness and a crucial part of the company’s assets. Starting with the drafting and filing of patent applications, TCBM’s patent attorneys work closely with the client to define the most effective strategy for securing the broadest possible scope of protection.

Trademarks

TCBM’s trademark attorneys and consultants operate in Italy and Europe, as well as internationally, through a network of consummate and carefully selected intellectual property advisory firms, to design and ensure the most effective strategies for brand protection and maintenance. Every day TCBM provides expert advice on highly complex issues, such as trademark opposition, invalidation actions and revocation.

SPC

Supplementary Protection Certificates (SPCs) serve to extend the duration of a patent right, to encourage innovation by rewarding the efforts to obtain the authorisation needed to put medicinal products on the market. Thanks to our experience in pharmaceuticals, TCBM deals with the filing and prosecution of SPCs in Italy – since their first enactment.

Design

Industrial design is embedded in almost everything around us, from smartphones to computer mouse, from furnishings to lighting fixtures. TCBM provides comprehensive assistance in the registration and management of designs, with national and international Intellectual Property organizations. TCBM’s design team handles every aspect associated with prior art searches, filings, response to official actions, renewals and litigations.

Litigation

All TCBM's professionals have extensive experience in out-of-court litigation, which they can handle independently or with the support of IP lawyers, and in court litigation, working alongside lawyers in drafting case documents or as party technical experts. TCBM professionals are often appointed as CTUs by the judges of the Specialised Sections on Industrial Property of the Courts.

Other IP Services

TCBM offers complete assistance in the registration in Italy, with EPO, WIPO and EUIPO, and in the various foreign countries of variations in ownership, due for example to sales, mergers, incorporations, changes of denomination, and any other operation, of securities industrial property. TCBM assists its clients in protecting intellectual property of a creative nature also through deposits with the SIAE.
