Managing Intellectual Property

Managing IP, a leading source of intellectual property news and analysis, has ranked Tilleke & Gibbins in Tier 1 in Vietnam for Trademark Prosecution in the magazine’s annual trademark survey for 2012. In addition to this recognition of the firm’s registration work, the Vietnam IP enforcement group was awarded a Tier 2 ranking in the Trademark Contentious category, placing it among the top six firms in this category in Vietnam. A comprehensive survey was conducted to determine the rankings, and a team of researchers contacted firms and corporate counsel in over 80 jurisdictions to compile the results. This ranking builds upon the Vietnam team’s top-tier patent ranking in the Managing IP Patent Survey in February 2012.

Tilleke & Gibbins is proud to announce that four litigation cases handled by the firm have been selected among the nine Distinguished Judgment Awards granted by Thailand’s Central Intellectual Property and International Trade Court (IP&IT Court) for the period from October 1, 2024, to August 31, 2025. This recognition highlights the complexity, novelty, and legal significance of these cases, which were chosen based on stringent criteria including new legal issues, high evidentiary volume, and intricate legal arguments. Among these four cases, one was singled out as the “Most Distinguished Judgment” – the landmark trademark squatting case involving the trademark rights of our client, Thailand’s largest state-owned energy conglomerate, and its subsidiary. In this case, the defendants had filed 52 trademark applications mimicking our client’s marks, making it the largest trademark squatting dispute in Thai history. On April 30, 2025, the IP&IT Court ordered the cancellation of multiple infringing trademarks, setting a benchmark for IP enforcement against trademark squatters in Thailand. The other three recognized cases demonstrate Tilleke & Gibbins’ breadth of expertise in IP litigation: Patent infringement and invalidation involving trade secrets misappropriation. Trade dress infringement of a unique packaging. Landmark Luckin Coffee case involving trademark infringement and invalidation. The IP&IT Court handles approximately 200 IP civil litigation cases each year, and our IP litigation team has typically been involved in 25–30% of them, reflecting our dominant role in shaping IP jurisprudence in Thailand.
