Intellectual-Property

The protection of intellectual property rights against any type of infringement is a challenging task that finds our law firm well-equipped to carry this through. Our Intellectual Property lawyers provide sound advice on the acquisition, registration and protection of all intellectual property including trademarks, patents, designs and copyrights.

We ensure that our clients’ inventions, literary and artistic works, symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce, are well-protected and that our clients can control and get the reward from such innovative work, thus allowing our clients to concentrate on improving their creative skills and innovating.

Our international outlook means that we can assist our clients in their need to protect their IP rights anywhere in the world. Our associates in all of the European Union countries work closely with us whenever a client wants to ensure the protection of inventions and unique creations in Europe.

We can represent clients before the Registrar of Patents and Trade Marks in Cyprus, the European Patents Office and before the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs)-(OHIM) which is responsible for administering the Community Trade Mark system which creates a unique unified trademark registration system in Europe.

Our Intellectual Property Lawyers cooperate with a number of international law firms and represent a high-calibre clientele including pharmaceutical companies, product manufacturers and brand owners before the Registrar of Trade Marks of Cyprus in objections raised against international trade mark rights extending to Cyprus, and also in relation to objections raised against national trade mark applications and in conversions of community trade mark registrations to national registrations.

In cooperation with our Litigation & EU & Competition Teams, we represent many of our clients in passing- off actions.
