Intellectual Property Legality Audits
We are aware of the value of data—today, data is the new currency. Therefore, we place great importance on selecting the appropriate contractual provisions to protect our clients’ databases. We verify our clients’ databases in terms of both copyright protection and independent legal protection, regardless of whether the data meets the criteria of a work, as well as personal data protection. We also provide advice on technology transfers and R&D contracts.
We draft comprehensive IP cooperation agreements tailored to the individual needs of our clients. We assist in selecting the appropriate type of agreement based on the circumstances and in ensuring the proper protection of the client’s legal rights. We also conduct copyright audits to verify the lawful use of works and the effectiveness of acquiring copyright or licensing rights, particularly in the context of M&A transactions.
Additionally, we stay up to date on the legality of using data for training AI models and digital methods of managing access to works (TDM).
We provide legal assistance in the field of industrial property—we investigate and assess the possibilities for registering trademarks, utility models, or industrial designs. We support clients in the legal protection of AI training models and the output data generated by artificial intelligence (AI output).
We represent our clients in intellectual property disputes, including violations of unfair competition laws, trade secrets, confidentiality, and know-how.
Our office is located just steps away from the only Intellectual Property Court in southern Poland, housed in the District Court of Katowice. We are well-versed in the specific civil procedural rules for intellectual property disputes, where legal representation by an attorney or legal advisor is mandatory.
We also handle opposition and invalidation proceedings related to industrial property rights before the Polish Patent Office, administrative courts, and EUIPO.
