We can’t wait to connect and share our passion for intellectual property with professionals from all over the world!

With great pride and gratitude, we celebrate the remarkable 50th anniversary of Janusz Nowakowski’s professional career – a Polish and European patent attorney, co-founder of our Patpol law firm, and one of the key experts in the field of intellectual property protection in Poland and Europe.

Half a Century in the Service of Innovation

On March 5, we had the honor of celebrating the outstanding professional achievements of Mr. Nowakowski, who has been tirelessly supporting inventors, entrepreneurs, and innovators since 1975. His vast knowledge and invaluable experience have helped countless clients effectively protect their technologies and solutions, particularly in industries such as machinery construction, transportation, construction, mining, automotive, optics, and physics.

Over the years, Mr. Janusz has held key positions in our firm, serving twice as the President of the Management Board of Patpol. As a mentor and authority in the field of industrial property, he has played a crucial role in shaping new generations of patent attorneys, sharing his expertise and helping develop intellectual property protection standards in Poland.

A Strong Foundation of Knowledge and Experience

Before joining Patpol, Mr. Nowakowski gained experience at the Institute of Aviation and the Polish Patent Office, where he worked on key issues related to invention protection. His educational background includes an engineering degree from the Warsaw University of Technology and postgraduate studies in intellectual property at the Jagiellonian University, which laid a solid foundation for his professional path.

More Than a Patent Attorney – Passion and Inspiration

Beyond his professional life, Mr. Janusz is a man of diverse interests. His passion for aviation and automotive technology, as well as his love for football, have accompanied him for years, providing inspiration both at work and beyond. His dedication and professionalism serve as a role model, and his warm personality makes him not only an outstanding expert but also a valued colleague and mentor.

Gratitude and Best Wishes

On this special occasion, we would like to express our deepest gratitude for the years of dedication, commitment, and passion that Mr. Nowakowski has contributed to the development of Patpol and the entire intellectual property industry. We wish him continued success, professional satisfaction, and many more years filled with inspiration and the fulfillment of both professional and personal passions!

On November 27th, we hosted another inspiring Patpol Breakfast, bringing together entrepreneurs and IP experts at InFormal Kitchen in Warsaw and online.

What did we discuss?

• AI and Intellectual Property: Katarzyna Jedynak-Gierada, our patent attorney and legal counsel, delved into the complex world of AI-generated content and IP rights. Her insights opened up new perspectives on the future of IP protection in this rapidly evolving technological landscape.
• Patent Infringement: Practical Tips: Jakub Słupski, our senior associate and attorney, provided valuable guidance on how to navigate the complexities of patent infringement cases. His practical advice offered a real-world perspective on protecting your intangible assets.

We had a lively discussion, with plenty of questions and engaging conversations. This reinforced our belief in the importance of intellectual property protection for business growth.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, both in person and online. Your participation and enthusiasm made this event a great success.

Stay tuned for our next Patpol Breakfast! We’ll be sharing more details on our social media channels.

Patent searches are the basis for effectively acquiring industrial property rights. Patent clearance is conducted prior to the market introduction of a new product.

Individuals seeking to implement their solutions must be aware that they may already be protected by exclusive rights held by other entities. Therefore, to avoid the risk of infringing other parties’ exclusive rights, it is worth conducting patent clearance search as the first step.

In the latest edition of The Patent Lawyer magazine, Maciej Fajkowski explains why conducting such search is valuable and what it entails.
