Intellectual Property

Legal Services for Business

Specializations

Currently in the process of doing business the use of certain objects of intellectual property (IP) takes place quite often. The first and foremost associations arise with the use of trademarks and service marks.

However, the concept of intellectual property includes many other IP objects (industrial designs, utility models, inventions, etc.), and also covers a wide range of issues: from creation of IP objects, their use and transfer (cession) of rights to other persons, to legal protection in the event of unfair competition.

In this regard it is extremely important to carry out the full range of measures aimed at the legalization of legal rights to the objects of intellectual property being created/used in a timely and appropriate manner. After all, it is the very case where legal protection of such rights will be carried out.
