Intellectual Property Law

Izabela Konopacka’s previous professional experience in the Fashion sector (management positions in one of the largest companies in the world – Inditex Group and in the Scandinavian company KappAhl) and her academic areas of interest (work in progress on a Ph.D. thesis titled ‘Fashion law in European Union regulations’ allows for ensuring legal assistance in the field of claims related to illegal infringement of intellectual property law done by third parties, including cases related to e.g. using trademarks confusingly similar to registered marks, illegal use of patents, industrial designs and geographical indications, illegal use of trademarks on counterfeit products, infringement of rights to marks with commercial renown, product mimicking and unfair advertisement.
