MLL Legal recommended in inaugural Copyright 1000
We are proud to announce that MLL Legal and members of our Intellectual Property team have been included in the first edition of the WTR / IAM Copyright 1000, a new guide dedicated to leading copyright practices and practitioners worldwide.
MLL Legal is recommended as a firm in the Copyright 1000, alongside individually ranked practitioners Michael Ritscher and Peter Schramm. This result further underlines the strength of our Intellectual Property practice across the major international IP directories.
The WTR / IAM Copyright 1000 highlights Peter Schramm’s and Michael Ritscher’s copyright practices:
“Copyright and Media co-head Peter Schramm moves between disputes and the commercial exploitation of creative rights, advising on litigation, IP strategy, licensing, franchising and distribution. Michael Ritscher, founder and head of the IP practice, brings extensive cross-border litigation experience, particularly across life sciences, luxury goods and retail, alongside longstanding judicial and academic engagement with intellectual property law,” and concludes: “The mandates place MLL Legal at the centre of evolving questions around the relationship between copyright, product design and cross-border protection.”
We congratulate Michael Ritscher, Peter Schramm and the entire IP team on this achievement. We also extend our sincere thanks to our clients and peers for their continued trust and support.
