Intellectual property law

We provide our clients with comprehensive legal advice on the protection and transfer of intellectual property rights (trademarks, copyrights, registered and unregistered intellectual property rights).

Where do we advise?

We provide legal services in the registration of Slovak, European and international trademarks and represent clients in proceedings before the Industrial Property Office of the Slovak Republic and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). We provide our clients with searches of goods and services, drafting and filing of trademark applications, as well as defence against possible objections to the registration of registered trademarks.

We advise clients on the protection of their copyrights, as well as on the assignment and licensing and sublicensing of copyrighted works, and prepare related documentation for them.

We also provide legal advice in the area of know-how and trade secret protection.

We represent our clients in both in-court and out-of-court proceedings in cases of intellectual property infringement.
