Luigi Goglia

Luigi Goglia is one of the founding partners of LGV Avvocati, established in 2003. He is well known in the legal market as a leading litigator in industrial property matters and is particularly valued for the attention he devotes to understanding technical subject matter. Over the years he has handled major patent litigation, as well as disputes involving know-how, design and trademarks, appearing also before the General Court of the European Union, the Court of Justice of the European Union and the recently established Unified Patent Court (UPC). He has also advised numerous Italian and international clients on out-of-court matters in the same fields, managing large-scale anti-counterfeiting programmes relating to trademarks and designs, as well as enforcement programmes for so-called SEPs, particularly in the consumer electronics sector. Luigi has likewise built up extensive experience in acquisitions, mergers and corporate advisory work. He also advises on contracts, in particular in the field of industrial property but also in commercial matters such as distribution and agency agreements and, naturally, licences of industrial property rights. Luigi sits on the Governing Board of the Camera degli Avvocati Industrialisti (the Italian Chamber of Industrial Property Lawyers), of which he served as President in the 2024/2025 term, and he is a member of numerous organisations, including INTA, AIPPI, EPLAW and GRUR, in whose activities he regularly participates.
