"In my view, they have the best trademark practice in Spain, and their style matches [ours]."

"High-quality cost ratio with good performance working on different [things] in parallel."

"We like the team, especially Carlos Pires and Blanca Fresneau."

"They aren't afraid to give advice on what clients should or shouldn't do. Too many IP firms focus on advising on risk, Balder don't fall into that trap."

A client values the team's "deep analysis not only in the legal [area] but also in the industry".

"Agile and reliable."

The practice provided EPO opposition activity for a biotechnology client in a patent revocation case. It also provided similar advice for a mineral insulation supplier.

Case studies show the firm represented the owner of a EUTM trade mark and filed an opposition for a consumer client. EUIPO filing and nullity proceedings also featured for an insurance provider.
