The head of Linklaters’ trademark filing and prosecution practice, Roland Mallinson, is to join Taylor Wessing as the magic circle firm brings its bulk trademark practice to an end.
Mallinson, whose IP practice encompasses trademark work as well as broader copyright and patents work, is set to join Taylor Wessing in December with a team of associates. The move follows a strategic review of the IP practice by Linklaters, following which the firm decided to move away from trademark filing and portfolio management and instead focus on more complex multi-jurisdictional work.
