Pre-trial & Litigation

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.

How We Start

Legal Assessment

We analyse the factual circumstances of the matter and the applicable law, assess the nature of the infringement and evaluate the prospects of protection.

Evidence Building

We collect and structure evidence, document the facts of infringement and prepare the matter for further action.

Protection Strategy

We develop a strategy for protecting violated rights, taking into account the substance of the dispute, the available evidence and procedural risks.

Pre-trial Stage

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.

What We Handle at the Pre-trial Stage

Claims and Demands

Preparation of formal pre-trial claims and notices to the infringing party, including assessment of the possible amount of monetary compensation.

Compensation Strategy

Structuring demands for compensation and other remedies.

Pre-trial Settlement Position

Assessment of whether the dispute can be resolved without court proceedings.

Litigation Support

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.

What We Handle in Court Proceedings

Procedural Documents

Preparation of statements of claim, responses, motions and other procedural filings.

Case Position

Development of a legal and strategic position tailored to the specific dispute.

Representation in Court

Representation of the client’s interests at all stages of judicial proceedings.

Strategic Case Management

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.

Enforcement of Decisions

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.
