Brox has extensive expertise in representing and advising national and international companies in the field of intellectual property and copyright law, with a focus on trademark and design law. His services include the development of protection strategies, the implementation of appropriate anti-piracy measures for products (monitoring, border seizure applications and judicial enforcement), the design of advertising measures and the execution of contentious proceedings before the courts.
