ABOUT US


The partners of the firm represent clients before the Czech Industrial Property Office (dealing with all kinds of domestic IP rights as e.g. patents, utility models, designs, trademarks, indications of geographical origin, supplementary protection certificate etc.) in all stages of the prosecution of the case (from application till granting), before the European Patent Office (Munich) and OHIM (Alicante), and also before all kind of courts in IP enforcement matters (District and Regional Courts, Administrative Courts, with the exception of the Supreme and Constitution Court).

OUR FIRM

The firm is dedicated to all aspects of the intellectual property protection. In spite of the fact that the firm itself is a new-born, the three partners have extensive experience in various branches of IP protection since all of them worked for many years in the renowned Patent and Law Offices in Prague.
