Saglietti Bianco

What Saglietti Bianco does

Saglietti Bianco is a privately-held Italian law firm and intellectual property consulting agency founded in 1975 by Luigi Saglietti, operating through two Italian-incorporated entities (Saglietti Bianco S.T.A. and Saglietti Bianco S.r.l.) under co-control of founder Luigi Saglietti and name partner Emanuela Bianco. The firm specializes in intellectual property protection and enforcement, including trademark registration and brand strategy, patent filing and prosecution (with technical expertise across mechanics, electronics, chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals), design registration, copyright consulting, designations of origin and geographical indications (with particular focus on Italian wine, cheese, and olive oil producers), and anti-counterfeiting actions. The firm is directly accredited to represent clients before UIBM (Italy), EUIPO, INPI (France), DPMA (Germany), EPO, and WIPO, and maintains a five-continent referral network of independent law firms to deliver cross-border IP services. Beyond core IP, the firm provides food law, antitrust and competition law, advertising law, sports law, criminal industrial law, civil law, trade and corporate law, and national and international corporate contracts services. Offices are located in Torino (headquarters), Milano, and London (Italian Desk in UK), with an additional Italian Desk in Switzerland (Baar); the team comprises approximately 15 professionals.

The firm generates revenue through professional consulting services billed on a project, hourly, or retainer basis typical of Italian and international legal practice. Go-to-market is sales-led and partner-driven: a lean comprehensive structure with direct and ongoing partner contact, tailored strategic and commercial consulting, and multilingual capability (Italian, English, German, French) supporting both domestic Italian clients and international enterprises. Marketing is predominantly content-led, relying on a multilingual website blog, the YouTube 'IP in a nutshell' educational video series, LinkedIn presence, and analyst-ranking participation (IP STARS 2025, Legalcommunity IP & TMT Awards 2019 shortlist, Best Lawyers, Who's Who Legal). Target customer segments include Italian and international enterprises across multiple industries, with specific emphasis on Italian exporters and food & beverage producers seeking designation-of-origin, DOC/DOCG certification, and 'Made in Italy' brand protection. The firm operates an internal SB Area client portal for secure document and case management but has no proprietary technology platform and does not develop AI products; it advises on AI-related IP law (including the 2025 Italian AI Law) as a service line. No external institutional investors, private equity, or venture capital ownership is indicated; the firm is founder-owned and operated.

• Jacobacci & Partners: Established Italian IP law firm offering trademark, patent, design, and copyright services with international coverage. Comparable boutique-to-mid-size Italian IP competitor with overlapping client base in fashion, food, and design sectors.
• Studio Torta S.p.A. Italian patent and trademark firm with strong technical specialization across mechanics, electronics, and chemistry. Directly comparable to Saglietti Bianco's patent prosecution capabilities in industrial and life sciences sectors.
• HGF Limited: UK-headquartered IP specialist firm offering patent, trademark, and design services with European coverage. Similar boutique-to-mid IP-only positioning; a relevant peer for Saglietti Bianco's London Italian Desk activity.
• Bugnion S.p.A. Leading Italian IP firm with a comparable full-service IP offering (trademarks, patents, designs, copyright) and direct representation rights before Italian and European IP offices. Closest direct competitor to Saglietti Bianco in the Italian boutique IP segment.

Broad incumbents

• Hogan Lovells: Global BigLaw firm with one of the largest IP practices worldwide and a Milan office. Competes for top-tier multinational IP work; offers broader corporate, regulatory, and litigation services that Saglietti Bianco does not.
• Bird & Bird: Major international law firm with a leading IP practice (Bird & Bird LLP) and substantial Italian presence. Competes with Saglietti Bianco for premium IP mandates, particularly in tech, life sciences, and media, but as part of a much broader full-service portfolio.
• CMS Adonnino Ascoli & Cavasola Scamoni: International full-service law firm with a top-tier Italian IP practice (CMS Italy). Comparable on trademark and patent prosecution for Italian and international clients, but offers much broader corporate and regulatory coverage.

Emerging players

• GLP Intellectual Property: Italian IP boutique with growing patent and trademark practice. Overlaps with Saglietti Bianco on Italian and EU IP prosecution for SME and mid-market clients, though typically smaller in scale.
