About TMP
A new generation of IP practice
TMP Intellectual Property is a full-service intellectual property firm based in Bangkok, Thailand. We combine specialist expertise, technology-driven processes, and commercial understanding to help clients protect, enforce, and realise the value of their intellectual property.
Founded in 2018, TMP has become one of Thailand’s fastest-growing IP firms, with a team of 35 people led by five partners. Since 2024, we have ranked among Thailand’s top five trademark filers, reflecting the strength of our prosecution practice and the confidence placed in us by clients and overseas associates.
The firm’s capabilities are recognised by leading international legal directories, with Tier 3 rankings in The Legal 500 and Managing IP’s IP STARS, and Bronze rankings in both the WTR 1000 and IAM Patent 1000.
We advise Thai and international clients, from entrepreneurs and emerging businesses to established corporations. Our approach starts with understanding each client’s objectives and developing practical IP strategies suited to their needs, resources, and ambitions.
How we stand out
As a new-generation IP firm, we combine technology-driven efficiency with personal attention. Our approachable team makes complex IP issues clear, providing practical advice, timely updates, and transparent, competitive fees so clients understand their options and know what comes next.
Based in Thailand, we also work closely with trusted IP firms across Southeast Asia and beyond, helping local and international businesses protect their intellectual property as they expand into new markets.
Our leadership
TMP is led by five partners whose complementary expertise brings together prosecution, international coordination, enforcement, and litigation. Together, they guide the firm’s development and share a commitment to practical advice, responsive service, and lasting client relationships.
Co-founder Pawat Varapirom advises across trademarks, patents, licensing, and litigation, bringing a broad perspective to the firm’s practice. His work spans securing IP rights, negotiating their commercial use, and resolving disputes, enabling him to help clients develop coordinated strategies for protecting and realising the value of their intellectual property.
Co-founder Munif Chaipanya advises on trademarks, patents, and litigation, with a particular focus on trademark protection and prosecution. He leads TMP’s trademark department, overseeing a practice that has ranked among Thailand’s top five trademark filers since 2024. His work connects brand protection, portfolio management, and dispute resolution, helping clients secure and defend their rights.
Leading the international department, Adele Marchal serves as a key link between the firm’s Thai practice and its international clients and overseas associates. She coordinates international matters and helps ensure that advice on Thai IP issues is clearly communicated and aligned with clients’ wider objectives.
Suthasinee Sutthavas leads the enforcement practice, helping clients address infringement and protect their intellectual property in the marketplace. She works closely with the firm’s prosecution and litigation teams to coordinate enforcement action with clients’ broader protection strategies.
Aswin Traisrisin heads the litigation practice, representing clients in intellectual property disputes. He works alongside the firm’s other practice teams to develop litigation strategies that reflect the rights involved, the circumstances of each dispute, and the client’s desired outcome.
This combination of expertise enables TMP to consider matters from multiple perspectives and provide continuity from the initial protection of intellectual property through to its commercial use, enforcement, and defence.
