Intellectual Property Law
We support clients in the comprehensive protection of intellectual property – from identifying key assets, through developing protection strategies, to the effective enforcement of rights. We help build an informed approach to IP as a driver of competitive advantage, brand reputation, and enterprise value.
We advise on how to protect ideas, technologies, content, and identifiers – in a way that aligns with the company’s business model and scale of operations. A special focus is placed on trademarks: names, logos, and other devices that define a brand’s identity. We handle trademark registrations in Poland, the European Union, and other jurisdictions (via WIPO), conduct clearance searches, develop protection strategies, and represent clients in infringement disputes.
Our expertise also covers copyright, industrial designs, trade secret protection, and technology transfer agreements – wherever innovation and originality are key.
