It starts with an idea. Everything else grows from it — which is exactly why it deserves to be protected properly. The question is not whether to protect it, but what to protect and how.Start with a simple fact: an idea as such cannot be registered. The law protects not the concept, but its expression:- A name — a trademark
- A technical solution — an invention or a utility model
- The appearance of a product — an industrial design
- Texts, software, databases, photographs, illustrations, video — works protected by copyrightCopyright has one important feature: as a rule, it belongs to the author from the moment the work is created, with no registration required. Yet once copyright is registered, the work is easier both to defend in a dispute and to commercialise. Where a work is commissioned, it is worth making sure the economic rights have actually passed to you.This is where we come in — from the first registration to complex disputes. We identify the right intellectual property assets and the best way to protect them in law, handle registrations, and prepare contracts. And if a dispute arises, we negotiate and, where needed, defend your rights in court.We'll be with you from the moment your idea appears through to its protection — and beyond, for as long as it takes.
