DISPUTES

In the market, there are often infringements of the economic interests of competing businesses. This is particularly true for intellectual property rights – unlawful use of these rights allows a business to quickly improve its market position. A striking example of this phenomenon is trademark infringements.

Using someone else’s trademark allows for gaining recognition among consumers. Building a market position based on others’ rights also pertains to patent rights or industrial designs – the infringer can introduce a unique product or a product with a unique shape to the market. The infringement of specific rights is often accompanied by actions that can be considered acts of unfair competition.

These situations generate disputes between businesses and affect virtually every area of business activity. In our practice, we have advised clients in various industries, including cosmetics, food, electronic devices, IT, and banking. We always present our clients with available amicable and court strategies, advising the best solutions while keeping our clients’ goals in mind.
