Intellectual property law, industrial rights, in particular patents and trademarks. For more than three decades we have stood behind Czech and international companies alike — from the first application to the highest-stakes disputes.
We are created as creators — and so we create. We shape, preserve and reshape the world by its own laws and by our own design.
Comprehensive legal services across industrial and intellectual property, commercial and civil law — from searches and registration through portfolio management to the conduct of complex disputes at home and abroad.
Three principles underpin the way we practise law. A traditional approach, continuity and an emphasis on fundamental ethical principles have guided the firm since its foundation.
In securing and registering rights. We think the protection strategy through in advance, propose both the procedure and the budget, and conduct proceedings so that the right will stand.
In the transfer and exploitation of rights. We prepare licence and assignment agreements with an emphasis on clarity, balance and lasting relationships.
In the defence and enforcement of rights. In disputes we act with resolve — for small and medium-sized enterprises and the largest international companies alike.
Consistently ranked among the market leaders in intellectual property. Our clients include leading Czech and international companies.
We bring two professions together under one roof — attorneys-at-law and patent attorneys. We carry on the firm founded by JUDr. Karel Čermák Sr. in 1990.
…together with a team of more than forty further professional and administrative specialists — trademark and patent paralegals, translators and secretarial staff.
Looking to protect a brand or an invention, or facing an intellectual property dispute? Write to us — we will discuss the best way forward, with no obligation.
