Intellectual property is present in the operations of virtually every entity, and often determines its market power. At GRK Adwokaci, we understand its value and the needs of clients who want to ensure that their rights in intangible assets are properly protected.

The intellectual property law team is headed by Mr Tomasz Rytlewski (a lawyer twice nominated to the group of five best specialists in copyright and related rights in Poland in the ranking of law firms of the legal daily Rzeczpospolita). 

The intellectual property law team provides legal assistance in the fields of:

• copyright and related rights

• know-how.

Advice on intellectual property law includes not only comprehensive services for entities whose business model is based on the trading of rights in intangible assets (e.g. in the media and entertainment industry, or in the IT or Internet industry), but also for entities in need of legal support in the area of intellectual property rights only for specific projects or issues.
