About
EZRATTY-FARHI Law Firm handles trademark prosecution matters and offers a global solution for managing trademark portfolios in Israel and worldwide.
The firm provides advice and services at all stages of a trademark registration, from trademark clearance searches to registration, and handles all obstacles that may occur during the trademark registration procedure. We also deal with the management and recordation of all events occurring during the lifetime of a trademark, such as the licensing or assignment of a trademark, as well as with its renewal.
The firm was founded by Irene Ezratty-Farhi, member of the Israel Bar Association, LL.M. in International Private Law from the University of Paris 1 - Pantheon-Sorbonne.
Irene is an expert in trademarks, having acquired her extensive experience in the largest and most prominent Israeli law firms in the field of intellectual property.
Irene practiced in Paris as Deputy Counsel at the Secretariat of the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) . In the early 1990's she emigrated to Israel, where she completed her legal traineeship in a large law firm specialized in commercial law, Weksler Bregman & Co. and then practiced in various aspects of commercial law, before specializing in intellectual property law and, in particular, trademark law.
Irene is fluent in Hebrew, English and French. She is a member of INTA and of the Intellectual Property Committee of the Israel Bar Association.
