About

Provided by Eversheds Sutherland

Eversheds Sutherland Bitāns advises local and international clients on protecting and enforcing their intellectual property rights and complying with data protection regulations in an increasingly complex legal landscape.

Our IP lawyers assist clients with infringement, counterfeiting, trademark and copyright enforcement, and provide strategic advice on protecting IP portfolios across borders. We have successfully represented clients before Latvian and international IP authorities and courts, drawing on deep industry experience and precedent-setting litigation.

Our litigation track record includes several landmark cases in Latvia, including:

  • The first-ever challenge of a patented invention,
  • The first court judgment on trademark infringement, and
  • The first disposal of counterfeit goods in a customs warehouse.

We have also played a key role in shaping legal interpretation of copyright, trademark, and patent laws in Latvia through successful challenges to existing norms.

Our team regularly advises on GDPR compliance, data processing policies, and regulatory risk management.

Our clients operate in industries such as transport and infrastructure, consumer products, technology and communications, food and beverage, and insurance.
