I help entrepreneurs to effectively enforce and defend their intellectual property rights in practice. I handle litigation and arbitration proceedings, including criminal cases and disputes related to intellectual property infringement. My goal is not only to win the case, but above all to protect my client’s business value and minimise their financial and reputational risk.

How I Work

In my work, I am guided by respect, empathy, and efficiency. I consider my clients’ needs and objectives, seeking to gain a thorough understanding of their situation, while ensuring that my actions always deliver tangible results. When dealing with complex matters, I prioritise precision and consistency, and where possible, I strive to secure settlement solutions that often deliver greater value to clients than prolonged disputes.

When to Contact Me

• When your trademark, design, or patent is under threat from a competitor or infringer
  • When you need to resolve a dispute quickly and in a business-oriented manner, e.g. through settlement
  • When you require support in multi-jurisdictional proceedings or criminal cases

My Key Areas

• Intellectual property and unfair competition litigation and arbitration
  • Enforcement of trademark, industrial design, and patent rights, including online
  • Developing settlement and business-oriented solutions to avoid long-term disputes

Experience and Background

I have gained extensive experience at the Legal Department of the European Patent Office (EPO, The Hague) and at the Cancellation Division of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO, Alicante).

Building on this background, I have successfully handled dozens of complex multi-jurisdictional disputes, effectively enforcing my clients’ rights. I am particularly proud of:

• Leading and coordinating a multi-jurisdictional trademark dispute for a Polish company at the European Union level
• Winning a case at the very first hearing, where the court fully dismissed claims based on patent infringement and unfair competition following  a multi-hour proceeding
• Resolving a nine-year dispute in favour of the client through a settlement after taking over the case from the previous counsel
• Successfully defending a registered design infringement claim despite an earlier invalidation decision by the patent office
• Effectively enforcing clients’ rights in numerous criminal proceedings, including securing exemplary damages amounting to several hundred thousand PLN

Outside of Work

In my spare time, I enjoy cycling, hiking in the mountains, and spending active time with my family. These activities help me to maintain balance and a fresh perspective when facing complex professional challenges.

I help companies to build strong and effective trademark protection, ensuring that their brands are secure, distinctive, and genuinely protected on the market.

Clients turn to me when they want the assurance that their brand protection strategy will be designed in the most optimal and efficient way possible. It is crucial for them that a trademark is properly cleared prior to filing and secured swiftly. At the same time, the early identification of potential obstacles and their effective resolution is equally important.

I combine legal precision with a strategic mindset to ensure that industrial property protection is fully aligned with long-term business objectives.

My Key Areas:

• Trademark registrability assessment and collision risk analysis
• Effective acquisition of trademark protection
• Strategic development and management of trademark portfolios

Experience and Technical Background

• I have developed and implemented a long-term global protection strategy for an extensive trademark portfolio of one of the largest entities in the Polish gaming market.  I have managed and maintained this portfolio worldwide for nearly ten years, providing ongoing advice on new projects.
• I have long-standing advisory relationships with corporate clients who have trusted us for decades, including companies such as Smyk and Sarantis.
• I have successfully demonstrated acquired distinctiveness for the flagship trademark of one of the most recognisable large-format children’s retail chains in Poland before the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).

My Approach

When it comes to client relationships, I prioritise partnership and long-term cooperation. My professional work is guided by royalty, trust, and clear communication. I believe that effective brand protection begins with a thorough understanding of the client’s business, only then can an intellectual property strategy create real value.

I make sure that clients are informed about potential risks before they become actual problems, and that every decision is well-considered and commercially justified.

Experience and Education

I graduated from the Faculty of Law at Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw, subsequently completing postgraduate studies in Industrial Property Law at the University of Warsaw. I am a qualified Polish Patent and Trademark Attorney and an authorised representative before the EUIPO.

I handle filing and opposition proceedings before the Polish Patent Office, the EUIPO, and the WIPO, and provide advice on the national, EU, and international protection of trademarks and industrial designs.

Outside of Work

In my free time, I enjoy mountain hiking and staying active. This helps me to balance long hours I spend at the computer, and it gives me the energy and focus I need to be an effective leader in my daily professional life.

I help technology companies turn innovation into a sustainable competitive advantage. I design patent strategies that protect inventions and support business growth, investor engagement, and international expansion.

I view intellectual property as a strategic asset that must be aligned with a company’s business model, market position, and long-term ambitions. By combining engineering precision with a strong business acumen, I ensure that patent protection becomes an integral part of a company’s growth strategy, rather than merely a formality.

• Advanced technologies: mechanics, electronics, telecommunications, optoelectronics, photonics, automotive, and software

My Approach

I am not just a patent advisor; I act as a strategic business partner. I collaborate closely with management teams, engineers and inventors to develop protection strategies that tangibly impact a company’s competitive position.
Honesty, precision and long-term relationships are at the core of what I do. In my experience, the best IP decisions are made when technology, law and business are considered together as one coherent framework.

Experience and Technical Background

I have a PhD in Technical Sciences and have developed and implemented patent strategies for companies working in the fields of dispensing systems, structural solutions for the construction and automotive sectors, and medical implant technologies. I have experience in managing international patent portfolios comprising dozens of applications across Europe, Asia and the Americas.
