Industrial property law

We assist entrepreneurs in the conscious and strategic management of exclusive rights – both in relation to product and service designations and innovative technological solutions. We provide guidance on how to effectively protect key assets against the risk of infringement and how to counteract acts of unfair competition. Our approach is efficient and tailored to the specific circumstances of each case.

Our services include in particular:

  • Trademark and industrial design registration – both in Poland (before the Polish Patent Office), across the European Union (via EUIPO), and in third countries through the WIPO international procedure. This includes, in particular: assistance in determining the form of the mark or design and the scope of goods/services covered by the application, verification of potential conflicts with prior rights, and comprehensive handling of the registration process.
  • Monitoring of trademarks and industrial designs – both in terms of tracking the duration of protection (including renewal deadlines) and identifying potential conflicts with later applications. We use advanced software tools to monitor national, EU, and international (WIPO) databases. Monitoring ensures continuity of exclusive rights and enables the early detection of potential infringements and prompt legal action.
  • Representation before the Polish Patent Office (PPO) and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) – including, among others, handling opposition proceedings against trademark registrations as well as invalidation or cancellation proceedings concerning exclusive rights such as trademarks, designs, and patents. We provide end-to-end support – from preparing submissions and gathering evidence to representation during hearings and follow-up actions related to the enforcement of office decisions.
  • Drafting and reviewing industrial property agreements, particularly license agreements (both exclusive and non-exclusive), transfer agreements for trademarks, designs, or patents, co-ownership arrangements for trademarks, and trademark use regulations.
  • Combating acts of unfair competition, such as unlawful exploitation of another’s reputation (parasitism), copying business or product identifiers in a manner likely to mislead consumers, misappropriation of trade secrets (know-how), poaching employees or clients, spreading false information, obstructing market access, or engaging in deceptive advertising practices.
  • Comprehensive support in pursuing claims, covering all stages of the dispute. We assist in choosing the most effective enforcement strategy, draft and send cease and desist letters, conduct settlement negotiations with infringers, and represent clients in court proceedings.

 

Additionally, we operate the platform ZNAKOCHRON.PL, where we publish extensive content on trademark protection. If you are considering registering a trademark, we invite you to explore the details there.
