FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

Intellectual property (IP) is the set of rights that protect the creative work of the mind, such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, and industrial designs. It is crucial for competitive advantage because it protects your company’s innovations, brands, and unique creations, preventing their unauthorized use by third parties.
Many intellectual property rights, such as trademarks, patents, and industrial designs, require registration with the appropriate authorities. Copyright arises automatically upon creation of a work, but its effective protection requires appropriate action, for example, through the creation of appropriate contractual provisions.
Yes, provided they constitute a work within the meaning of copyright law—that is, they are creative and possess an individual character. Such protection is provided from the moment of creation, regardless of whether the content is published online. Using protected materials without the rightholder’s consent constitutes a copyright infringement.
In the event of an infringement, you are entitled to civil claims, including demanding an injunction, removal of the consequences, payment of damages, or restitution of any profits obtained. In certain cases, such as deliberate infringement of copyright or registered trademarks, the infringer may be held criminally liable. If the infringement constitutes an act of unfair competition, it is also possible to invoke the provisions of the Act on Combating Unfair Competition.
Before filing an application for trademark, patent, or industrial design registration, it is recommended to conduct a conflict analysis, i.e., check for similar or identical marks in national and EU registers. This helps reduce the risk of refusal of registration or opposition from other entities. In the case of inventions and industrial designs, a prior art or market analysis is conducted to assess whether the protection requirements (such as novelty and inventive step) are met and to avoid infringement of existing exclusive rights.
