Intellectual Property

About

Provided by Eversheds Sutherland

In a dynamic commercial landscape with ever-expanding technological horizons, it is increasingly important for businesses to capture value from their intellectual capital and knowledge-based assets. We work closely with many leading businesses in Lithuania to help them develop effective strategies for managing their IP portfolios. We are on hand to ensure that the IP they and their employees create is protected and, where appropriate, enforced and exploited.

Eversheds Saladžius provides a full range of intellectual property services to local and international clients. We have expertise and experience in a wide range of projects relating to acquisition, protection, enforcement and use of intellectual property rights. We can also advise on franchising, licensing and other intellectual property related agreements.

Main areas of our expertise include:

• advice on protection and registration of trademarks, patents, industrial design, know-how, trade secrets and copyrights, including issues related to electronic commerce
• preparation of license, franchise agreements and contracts on purchase and assignment of intellectual property rights
• legal assistance on various intellectual property aspects of M&A and corporate structuring transactions, including intra-group transfers and other issues
• representation in all courts and local and EU IP institutions in IP disputes (court cases, oppositions, invalidation and cancellation actions, negotiations, etc.)
