Bonum Certa Men Certa

Luc Zimmerman (Geneva city council, Le Centre political party) advised Software Freedom Institute on trademark registration

Reprinted with permission from Daniel Pocock.

When the Software Freedom Institute lodged requests for trademark protection in Switzerland, we made a demand for assistance with the legal assistance service at Parreaux, Thiébaud & Partners.

We benefited from the advice of the jurist Luc Zimmerman.

Monsieur Zimmerman is a member of Le Centre, the same political party as Viola Amherd, Swiss president, former chief of the defence department.

June 2020: he was elected in the Geneva city council.

November 2020, four months later, he joined the team at Parreaux, Thiébaud & Partners.

In the Geneva city council, he has multiple responsibilities:

Leader of his political party, member of finance committee, member of the housing committee and member of the committee for information security and privacy

According to his LinkedIn profile, he worked at various companies: Python & Peter, Budin & Associés et EFG Bank.

He graduated from the l'Ecole d'avocature (school of lawyering), Université de Genève (ECAV).

There were 20,000 victims. How many committed suicide because of these jurists? █
