Structured protection of intellectual property rights through claims, court proceedings and enforcement strategy.
We support pre-trial work and litigation protection of rights to intellectual property objects.
Infringement of rights to intellectual property objects is one of the most common risks for modern business. Unauthorised use of trademarks, including circulation of counterfeit products, copying of patent-protected solutions and other forms of unlawful conduct by third parties may cause substantial financial and reputational losses for the right holder.
We provide professional support in pre-trial and litigation protection of rights to intellectual property objects in order to help stop the infringement and restore violated rights.
We analyse the factual circumstances of the matter and the applicable law, assess the nature of the infringement and evaluate the prospects of protection.
We collect and structure evidence, document the facts of infringement and prepare the matter for further action.
We develop a strategy for protecting violated rights, taking into account the substance of the dispute, the available evidence and procedural risks.
Pre-trial settlement is often a key stage of protection. A well-structured claim may help stop the infringement at an early stage, reduce the client’s losses and avoid unnecessary litigation costs.
We prepare reasoned claims and formal notices requiring cessation of infringement, compensation for losses or payment of monetary compensation, and elimination of the consequences of unlawful conduct.
Preparation of formal pre-trial claims and notices to the infringing party, including assessment of the possible amount of monetary compensation.
Structuring demands for compensation and other remedies.
Assessment of whether the dispute can be resolved without court proceedings.
Where court proceedings become necessary, we support the matter with due regard to the legal position, evidence base and procedural strategy.
We prepare procedural documents, including statements of claim, substantiate the case position and represent the client’s interests in court proceedings involving infringement of rights to intellectual property objects, including disputes over circulation of counterfeit products and other similar violations.
Preparation of statements of claim, responses, motions and other procedural filings.
Development of a legal and strategic position tailored to the specific dispute.
Representation of the client’s interests at all stages of judicial proceedings.
Particular attention is given to strategy. We assess litigation risks, forecast possible developments and shape the position in a way designed to achieve the most effective result.
We take into account both current judicial practice and the specific features of intellectual property disputes, which is especially important in complex or non-standard matters.
Our work does not end with a court decision.
We help determine the next procedural steps after a decision is obtained, prepare materials for its enforcement and assess the actions needed for actual restoration of rights.
Such support may include analysis of enforcement documents, preparation of explanations concerning IP objects and coordination of measures aimed at recovery of compensation or cessation of further infringement.
Unauthorised use of signs or confusingly similar branding elements, or circulation of counterfeit goods.
Cases involving manufacture, import, sale or other circulation of counterfeit goods.
Cases where structured claim work, court action and enforcement of the result are required.
You receive full legal support from analysis of the situation and the pre-trial stage through to actual enforcement of the result.
Our goal is not only to obtain a formal decision, but to secure real restoration of your rights.
