Your idea, brand and design deserve protection before they reach the market.
Intellectual property is often a company's most valuable asset. Our job is to protect it effectively.
We combine technical knowledge with legal practice, so we understand both the essence of an invention and the realities of business. We help you make the right decisions: what and where to file, how to build a rights portfolio and how to respond to infringements.
For over 15 years we have advised creators, startups, manufacturing companies and R&D teams - from the first idea, through filings in Poland and abroad, to enforcing rights in disputes. We speak plainly and look at protection through the lens of your business.
A good solution is protected before it reaches the market.
We help you plan protection at the right moment - so that your idea, brand or design stays yours and works for your competitive advantage.
Decisions grounded in technical and legal knowledge and current case law.
Concrete recommendations and smooth handling of cases - we value your time.
We treat your idea as our own - we are with you at every stage.
Full confidentiality and a partner-like, long-term cooperation.
We get to know your idea, brand or product and your business goals.
We check protectability and risks - trademark or prior-art searches.
We prepare the filings and choose the scope of protection (PL, EU, worldwide).
We maintain rights, monitor the market and respond to infringements.
A trademark protects the sign by which customers recognise your brand (a name, a logo). A patent protects a technical solution - an invention. These are two different rights that are often worth combining in a coherent protection strategy.
Yes. Registration gives you an exclusive right to your brand, makes it easier to act against imitators and increases the value of your company. We help determine the right scope (Poland, the European Union, worldwide) and run a search before filing.
Ideally before you disclose the solution publicly. An earlier disclosure may deprive the invention of its novelty, and therefore of patentability. That is why protection is worth considering already at the development stage.
Contact us as soon as possible. We will assess the situation, secure the evidence and choose the right actions - from a cease-and-desist letter, through negotiations, to proceedings before a court or an IP authority.
It depends on the office and whether any oppositions arise. In the national (UPRP) or EU (EUIPO) procedure the whole process usually takes from a few to a dozen or so months. A well-prepared application and an earlier search significantly reduce the risk of delays and refusal.
Not automatically - intellectual property rights are territorial. Protection is matched to the markets where you operate or plan to operate: separately for Poland, for the entire European Union, or through the international route. We will help you plan the right scope so that you neither overpay nor leave gaps.
