INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Copyright law, industrial property law, personal data protection, database protection and unfair competition regulations – these are the areas of law that have been our key specialization for years.
Working for our clients, we have audited, but also composed and negotiated, a large number of contracts in which broadly-defined intellectual property issues formed a material (and often essential) component.
On a number of occasions, the innovative nature of transactions and the business expectations of our clients necessitated devising unusual legal solutions, involving various areas of law.
Due to the circumstances of modern business activity, a large percentage of IP projects are positioned in the area of new information technologies. Thanks to our law firm’s profile, we are well prepared to handle the legal aspect of such projects, relying on adequate knowledge and – more importantly – extensive experience. Working for our clients, we have had a number of opportunities to define the IPR sphere for numerous complex outsourcing schemes, including projects involving the use of software under a SaaS model; we have also designed the legal framework and the documentation required for the functioning of optimized models of licence rights management within groups of companies.
We assist our clients in issues relating to taxation of intellectual property, by reviewing the tax effects of their intended or already implemented activities, designing fiscally-optimized legal-and-business models and if necessary also by providing support in fiscal, administrative and judicial proceedings. When protecting our clients’ intellectual property or defending them against infringement claims, we provide support and representation in out-of-court negotiations and in arbitration and judicial proceedings.
