Paola Taino

I am a founder and owner of Ing. Mari & C. srl. and I have been working in the industrial property sector for twenty-five years. I worked as a freelance surveyor for numerous design firms, after which I started working in graphic presentations for patents and models, registration of trademarks and then maintenance of industrial property rights.
I took the Convey course of preparation for the Patent Consultant’s exam.
I am currently responsible for administration and organisation of the company’s human resources and for customer relations.

Mario Coelli

trademark consultant

I decided to focus on industrial property rights immediately after obtaining my law degree. I started working with Ing. Mari in 1999, in the trademarks, utility models and industrial design sector. I have been a member of the Italian Association of Industrial Property Consultants (trademarks section) since 2004 and I am an authorised agent at the Italian Patent and Trademark Office. I am also an authorised agent at the OHIM (Office of Harmonization of for the Internal Market) in Alicante (Spain) for filing of Community Trademarks and Industrial Designs. I am responsible for filing Italian, community and international trademark and utility model applications, priority monitoring and searches, management of the client portfolio and expiry dates of the various patent/trademark rights.

Paola Marciò

legal consultant

Graduated in Law at “Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore” of Milan, I passed the bar exam in 2001 and moved to the United States for a legal internship soon after. Back in Italy, I worked in the IP law departments of two renowned law firms in Milan and here, in 2004, I set up my own firm together with a colleague. At the same time I started working as a legal consultant for the company ING. MARI & C. s.r.l. in Cremona. To the professional experience gained in the civil law area I then added specific skills acquired in the field of IP rights both as a consultant to companies and innovative start-up and to private individuals (inventors, creatives and freelancers).

It is precisely the needs of this varied clientele that have led me in recent years to acquire specific skills in new technologies (NFT, blockchain and smart legal contracts, coding for lawyers, legal tech and legal design) in order to be able to better handle the important consequences and implications that this evolution has had and will have in an increasingly impactful way not only in the specific context of IP rights but also in our legal profession.

I deal with consultancy on services related to the registration, validity and protection of IP rights and, more generally, their judicial and extrajudicial protection, contract law, new technologies, and the strategic valorisation of intangible assets.
