PETILLION has confirmed its Silver ranking for the 6th year in a row in the latest WTR 1000 rankings published this week.

Good news regarding individual rankings as well: Flip Petillion confirms his Gold ranking, while Jan Janssen and Diégo Noesen both move up to Silver.

The team takes this opportunity to thank all clients and peers for the trust, and especially appreciates the kind words: 

““PETILLION is an excellent boutique, and a go-to for its litigation and arbitration expertise across Belgium and Europe. The team excels in resolving highly complex issues, and is valued for their responsiveness, precise advice and out-of-the-box thinking.” Founder Flip Petillion is a “highly respected IP practitioner known for delivering high-quality results. He maintains a courteous demeanor in the courtroom, never resorting to unnecessary aggression.” Also on board are Jan Janssen and Diego Noesen who each garner warm plaudits this year. “Jan is an exceptionally skilled practitioner with a keen eye for detail and outstanding analytical abilities. He possesses extensive knowledge of internet-related trademark issues and excels in crafting well-structured case strategies.” “Diégo expertly manages trademark prosecution in the European Union, skilfully handling opposition proceedings and counterclaims for cancellation. His work consistently delivers results of the highest quality.” The team represents numerous prestigious brands, including IKEA, frequently representing them in disputes involving unauthorised use of trademarks, copyright infringements, domain name conflicts and social media scams. Recently, they took swift judicial action against a Belgian far-right party for misappropriating the IKEA brand in a political campaign.
