ANTI-COUNTERFEITING

When introducing popular products to the market, every entrepreneur must anticipate that there will be individuals who are creative, daring, harmful, or dishonest enough to engage in counterfeiting these products and subsequently selling them.

Patpol Legal’s approach to this matter is clear – we do everything in our power to prevent any infringements of our clients’ rights and to eliminate the presence of any goods on the market that would infringe such rights. This especially pertains to the labeling of goods with counterfeit trademarks and the introduction of such goods into commerce.

Fighting counterfeits – both online and offline – and collaborating with law enforcement agencies in this regard is one of our priorities. Increasing awareness about the issue of counterfeiting, its nature, and the consequences associated with counterfeiting and trading counterfeit goods among the public is one of the tasks we pursue and aim to advance as far as possible.

HOW CAN WE HELP?

Communicating with law enforcement agencies (Police, Customs authorities, Prosecutor's Office) to initiate actions and respond to client rights infringements – including verification of the infringement.

Preparing appropriate documents to be submitted during proceedings.

Representing clients before common courts.

Collaborating with law enforcement agencies to enhance the effectiveness of our actions and those of the authorities while minimizing the burden on the client.
