Intellectual property
Intellectual property represents one of the most valuable assets of any company. Patents, trademarks, designs, and trade secrets often form the core of competitive advantage and significantly influence a company’s market value. In a world of global competition, digital transformation, and increasing emphasis on innovation, the strategic protection and commercialization of intellectual property are key to long-term success. Effective management of an IP portfolio can turn creative ideas and technical solutions into sources of revenue while creating barriers to entry for competitors.
Our approach
We view intellectual property law as a strategic business tool, not merely a form of protection. We combine technical expertise with commercial insight to design strategies that strengthen your competitive position and generate value. Our work goes beyond registrations — we build comprehensive intellectual property ecosystems that protect innovation, enable monetization, and reduce the risk of disputes. Every solution is tailored to the specifics of your industry and the long-term goals of your business.
Added value for your business
We help technology companies turn their R&D investments into protected assets that increase valuation during capital raising. For manufacturing firms, we design protection strategies that prevent product imitation and safeguard technological advantage. We build intellectual property portfolios for start-ups that attract investors and enable strategic partnerships. For pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, we provide top-tier protection for technologies with billion-dollar potential. In the creative industries, we deliver comprehensive protection of brands, designs, and copyrighted works.
Key areas of practice
We provide comprehensive protection of all forms of intellectual property – from patent applications and trademark registrations to the protection of designs and trade secrets. We develop strategies for research projects, product portfolios, and international expansion. We negotiate licensing agreements, technology transfer and joint development contracts. We represent clients in intellectual property infringement disputes, including litigation and arbitration. We conduct due diligence in transactions and handle IP-related aspects of mergers and acquisitions.
Practical challenges and risks
Failure to protect intellectual property can result in the irreversible loss of competitive advantage. Unprotected innovations become freely exploitable by competitors, devaluing investments in development. Infringement of third-party IP rights may lead to sales bans, substantial damages, or severe reputational harm. A weak IP position reduces company value during a sale or investor entry. Poorly structured licensing agreements can hinder further development or lead to loss of control over key technology.
Our solutions in practice
For technology companies, we design multi-layered protection strategies combining patents, utility models, and trade secrets to ensure maximum innovation security. We assist manufacturers in registering designs and trademarks that protect the unique appearance of their products. In intellectual property disputes, we employ a combination of negotiation, mediation, and litigation to achieve optimal outcomes. For research consortia, we draft ownership and IP utilization agreements that clearly define the rights of all parties. In licensing negotiations, we secure favorable terms, including milestone-based payments and flexible royalty structures.
