Advising

We are highly skilled at counseling our clients on how best to secure their intellectual property rights in the most advantageous and cost-effective manner, whether it be through patents (design or utility models), trade marks, trade dress, copyrights, domain names, trade secrets, covenants not to compete or other restrictive covenants.

We are also proficient at rendering high-quality independent legal opinions relating to the validity or infringement/non-infringement of our clients’ intellectual property, or that of others, including performing “freedom to practice” or “clearance” analyses of products, methods and packaging, and providing our clients with “design around” advice, so that potential conflicts can be avoided.

In providing our service we are always willing to cooperate with your other professional advisers whether legal, financial or technical in the field of Intellectual Property.

Naturally, we will keep you informed of the progress and any necessary action taken in relation to all matters that you have entrusted to our care.

We have also set high standards in terms of the advice we give. We believe you should receive advice which:

  • can be understood immediately;
  • is provided in good time to meet your commercial requirements;
  • is reasonably and competitively priced.

We can advise on all aspects of intellectual and industrial property.

Litigation

Firm attorneys represent their clients’ interests on both sides of these issues in courts as well as Offices throughout the Czech Republic. In addition, firm attorneys assist and consulted in connection with enforcement activities worldwide playing key roles in the strategy and coordination of foreign litigation.

Firm attorneys have highly trained abilities to understand modern technology and to explain it in concise, common sense terms. Equally important, firm attorneys have a thorough understanding of intellectual property law and the ability to work closely with other scientists and engineers, identifying what is truly important and what is not.

While litigation is expensive and time consuming and should be considered a remedy of last resort, it is often the only way to resolve conflicts. The enforcement of patents, trade marks, copyrights and other intellectual property matters through litigation and related activities, has been a principal component of the firm’s practice since its founding.
