Andreas Renck has been advising on intellectual property law, particularly EU trade mark and Community design law, international IP prosecution and litigation for a number of international clients. Having been involved in thousands of application and opposition proceedings before the European trade mark office (EUIPO) in Alicante, his knowledge and skills also span from representing clients in major cases before the General Court and Court of Justice in Luxembourg, to coordinating litigation proceedings in various European countries. Andreas has been coordinating worldwide or regional settlements.

His business centred, proactive and innovative approach helps turn his clients' complex issues into opportunities. He advises a wide range of clients including the automotive, pharmaceutical, beverages, information technology and telecommunications industries.

He further has a strong record in dealing with complex and technically difficult prosecution matters, including obtaining evidence required to prove secondary meaning, including survey evidence. He is also the Office Managing Partner of Hogan Lovells' Alicante office.

As part of the Alicante offices Andreas won the MIP Award for the best OHIM firm in 2013 (currently EUIPO) and twice the European trade mark firm of the year award by MIP. He is praised in WTR for his knowledge of EUIPO proceedings and representations in the Luxembourg court.
