Intellectual law

Unlike countries with a more developed legal system, intellectual property law is in its infancy in Ukraine. Such cases are rarely considered by the courts, and the legislative regulation of many issues still leaves much to be desired. In this regard, it can be difficult for copyright holders to protect their interests - to prohibit the use of a product of creative activity without a license, to collect royalties, to patent a particular invention, to receive an award for a rationalization proposal, etc.

Specialists of the lawyer association “Krikun and partners” are ready to provide professional information and legal support in such situations.

What problems can an IP lawyer solve?

According to the provisions of the Civil Code, the objects of intellectual property rights may be the results of creativity or mental work of people. These include works of literature, art, audio and video recordings, programs for computer equipment, databases, discoveries of science and technology, and semiconductor product circuits. Also in this category are utility models, mass production samples, proposals for improving industrial technologies, new plant varieties, improved animal breeds. Data identifying business entities (names, trademarks), marking of goods and services, and commercial information with limited access are protected by law.

The creators of this kind of intangible property, their heirs or authorized representatives can always use the existing legislative mechanisms to receive appropriate payments or stop the misuse of original creations. The lawyers of our law firm within the framework of this practice work on the following issues:

Copyright and related rights - state registration, acquisition, transfer, licensing, management, fight against violators.

Patents - the documentation of innovative technical solutions in production.

Commercial intellectual rights - protection of a unique company name, product names, trademarks, protection of production secrets.

Contracts and agreements - project development, audit, verification of compliance with the law, risk assessment, registration of transactions.

Taxes - declaration of profits earned from ownership of intellectual property rights (fees, royalties, commissions, compensations), calculation of the amount and terms of payment of mandatory payments or fees to the treasury.

Litigation in cases related to intellectual property - legal representation in all instances.
