"Taylor Wessing has been steadily building out its local offering, which provides a 360-degree service through its one-stop shop set-up, with judicious support from its international network as and when needed. The side’s management of thousands of marks is effortless – not least thanks to the vigilant quality control of Maarten Rijks. The Benelux trademark and design practice head is a tough adversary with an uncanny ability to predict the likelihood of success before districts courts, courts of appeal and the Supreme Court."

Silver individuals 2021

Leading individual (Silver): Instrumental to the firm’s growth is seasoned trademark practitioner Maarten Rijks, who “always responds quickly and provides insightful and practical advice”. “Possessing strong analytical skills, he gets to grip with the intricacies of legal matters. Rijks and his team have a way of drafting complex legal information in a simple manner that is easily accessible to clients.”

Leading indivdual: Leading light Maarten Rijks “has an acute business understanding and is very practical in his approach”. A “potent litigator with great communication skills”, Rijks is also highly valued for his hawkish anti-counterfeiting efforts. He was recently involved in a landmark ECJ case for Van Haren against Christian Louboutin regarding the latter’s red sole trademark; another highlight has been his representation of JPMC Investment Group in invalidity proceedings against the Kind Group before the EUIPO.

Leading individual: “Soft IP maven Maarten Rijks heads the trademark and copyright team and has a penchant for cases involving luxury, sports and entertainment brands”. “He has a fine instinct for the best use of border measures – a subject on which he has written for the Oxford University Press”. “We are very satisfied with the way Maarten and his team work for all our entities worldwide,” reports one satisfied patron. “He is a trusted adviser and makes sure each case is treated with the utmost care. I appreciate his practical approach, his business understanding of my company and his ability to refer us to law firms in other jurisdictions”.
