Studio Torta S.p.a

Studio Torta is one of the most outstanding Italian Intellectual Property firms and provides a broad range of services to assist clients in establishing, managing and defending their patent/trademark portfolio. Founded in Turin on April 1st, 1879 by brothers, Vincent and Secondo Torta, Studio Torta is still one of Italy’s leading technical and legal consultancy firms operating in the field of patents, trademarks and industrial property. Since Studio Torta had historic connections with many prestigious Italian and foreign companies and its name was well-known among industrial property experts, the surname of its original founders was maintained, even though there were no longer any family members at the firm. The last twenty years have been characterized by major expansion in terms of clients, practitioners, paralegal staff and offices. Following a recent reorganization, Studio Torta is now a joint-stock company with over 50 practitioners, 39 of whom are partners, and approximately 120 paralegal assistants. The firm has been holding training courses on current industrial property issues for selected groups of corporate technical and administrative personnel, as well as speaking at conferences, study days and seminars organized by various bodies and associations in the sector, for over forty years. Many of the current practitioners have built up considerable experience in legal cases concerning infringement and validity of industrial property rights and frequently act as court appointed experts. The important position of Studio Torta within the community of industrial property consultants is testified by numerous independent international awards. These are a consequence of the constant and profound attention the firm focuses on its clients, proposing the best solutions for safeguarding and enhancing their industrial property assets.
