We are the largest full-time IP group on the Polish market among international law firms. We combine a global perspective with local knowledge.

We offer sound knowledge in handling important IP portfolios of international firms in various industries, including pharmaceutical, tobacco and FMCG sectors. We annually handle around 150 IP litigation cases tried by Polish Patent Office, EUIPO, administrative courts, domain name arbitration courts, civil and criminal courts, and we are involved in dozens of pre-trial actions concerning the protection of IP rights.

We also prosecute, manage and advise on patent portfolios, licensing and strategy.

Clients trust us for opinions on patentability, validity, freedom to operate, and infringement risks.
