Intellectual property requires different legal strategies at different stages — from establishing ownership and structuring its commercial use to stopping infringement and recovering control over valuable assets. Our Intellectual Property team helps clients secure, manage, and commercialise trademarks, patents, designs, copyright, trade secrets, and other IP rights in Ukraine.
When those rights are challenged, we combine IP, disputes, and white-collar crime expertise to select the most effective enforcement strategy. We represent clients in infringement, invalidity, unfair competition, and trade-secret disputes, and assist in counterfeiting and piracy matters through investigations, evidence collection, court proceedings, and available criminal-law remedies.
