A prominent figure on the Italian IP scene and one of the country’s foremost litigators, Cesare Galli has done much to shape the legal landscape through his precedent-setting courtroom victories. He is an ace on cases relating to the high-tech and life sciences sectors.

He is the author of several hundred publications on all aspects of intellectual property and edited the largest commentary (4,000 pages) on all relevant national and European rules on the matter (Galli-Gambino, Commentary on the Italian Intellectual Property Rights Code, Turin, UTET-WoltersKluwer, 2011).

He was also one of the experts at the Italian Trademark and Patent Office who advised on the implementation of the EU Trademark Directive (2015/2436/EC) in Italy.
