Aleksandra Kryśka, our patent attorney and Deputy Head of Trademark and Design Department, together with Jakub Slupski, an advocate at Patpol Legal, will participate in the annual Marques conference, organized by one of the most prestigious IP organizations.

The key issue of this year’s conference is how diversity and cultural environment may affect brand authenticity. During the sessions there will be a discussion of a number of essential topics, including among others brand leadership in the times of crisis, new e-commerce rules and regulations for AI, Tik-Tokers and influencers.

The World Intellectual Property Day was established by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in 2000 to commemorate the entry into force of the convention establishing WIPO in 1970.

This year, World Intellectual Property Day is being celebrated as part of IP WEEK,  with focus on the role of women in the IP sector as the main topic. The Polish Chamber of Patent Attorneys has prepared a series of events introducing the achievements of well-known female scientists and researchers, encouraging young girls and women to get involved in the world of science and intellectual property.

Let’s meet at Patpol on our Open Day!

At the end of 2022, Netflix announced a pilot program of additional remuneration for creators of local productions enjoying high viewership. Although copyright law, as it stands, does not explicitly take into account the exploitation of an audiovisual work on the Internet, streaming platforms may themselves reward the creators of selected works. Similar solutions are already successfully implemented in other European countries.
