Intellectual Property

In addition to the brand, information is a valuable asset of every enterprise, the technical possibilities of which are still being developed for its storage, transmission and use. Just as it is not easy to expand on the market without taking care of the development and protection of the brand, running most enterprises seems difficult without the support of information technologies. Therefore, there is a need to include the above processes in a legal framework while minimizing the potential risk.

For many years, Domański Zakrzewski Palinka has had a team of experienced experts who advise in areas related to intangible property rights. We help clients to create or use already existing legal constructions so that they can fully implement their business assumptions. IP&TMT's expertise is based on market knowledge and many years of experience in the field of copyright and related rights, industrial property law, protection of personal rights and database protection law. Our clients are owners of recognizable trademarks, entrepreneurs whose rights on intangible assets require their protection and constant market monitoring.

We also support our clients in the protection of rights to intangible assets, taking into account the European Union market, intermediating, among others, reserving European patents, Community trademarks and industrial designs, and in registering rights in international proceedings - patents, trademarks, industrial designs, certificates of origin.

The range of interests of the IP&TMT Practice translates into the topics of entries on our  IP Law blog .
