Intellectual property law (IP)

Drafting and negotiation of specialized agreements - we draft agreements for the transfer of brands, know-how or technology, including with foreign contractors. With our help, customers license their rights to, among others, the USA, Germany or China - we know the specifics of this type of agreements, covering not only IP transfer, but also, for example, issues of supplies, licensed production or authorized distribution

Obtaining IP rights from employees and associates - contrary to popular belief, in most cases, it is not secured by a simple employment contract to the extent that it allows for rights commercialisation. It is essential to ensure the effective acquisition of rights, especially in relations with, for example, programmers or graphic designers

Obtaining protection of IP rights in patent offices - we obtain protection of e.g. trademarks, industrial designs, inventions or utility models. Thanks to our international experience and a wide network of associates, we obtain effective rights almost all over the world, protected not only at the Polish Patent Office but also e.g. at the United States Patent & Trademark Office, European Union Intellectual Property Office or in the Far East

Intellectual property rights portfolio analysis - especially in the age of start-ups, IP is a key value of a company. We support both investors and start-ups in their investment processes, verifying the effectiveness of the protection of rights under due diligence, and we also help prepare for such a survey

Registration clearance search - we verify the novelty of trademarks or inventions to determine whether and how they can best be protected and reduce the risk of infringement of third party rights

Infringements prosecution - by developing comprehensive strategies that take into account the achievement of the objectives set by the client, i.e. conducting both settlement discussions, negotiations and court proceedings in the area of intellectual property rights protection and combating unfair competition

Designing rules of using IP rights by affiliated companies - in group of affiliates, the standard is to use a common logotype, license software for the whole affiliates network or conduct marketing for holdings and affiliate companies. We help create the necessary transfer pricing documentation and negotiate licences for large capital groups.
