Industrial and copyright law may look straightforward, but is in fact one of the most complex fields, one requiring specialised training and experience. Maybe that's why, in practice, it often suffers from various myths and the creativity of amateurs who copy templates from the internet. Because we have already seen our fair share during acquisitions and in the courts, we know how to protect your rights effectively – both in this country and abroad. We can help you not only formulate and negotiate contractual warranties and licencing terms, but also register patents and trademarks or utility and industrial designs.
Many people also think that an NDA can just be copied from a previous transaction. But our clients know that's not enough. Do you want to know why? All you have to do is ask.
Intellectual Property
IP - duševní vlastnictví

What do our clients say?
“Lawyers usually have difficulty understanding even basic technical and scientific topics. The lawyers at JŠK are different. Not only did they quickly understand the essence of the patent that we wanted to protect, but they also found a way of explaining it to the court – and without needing to involve an expert.”
Tomáš Těthal, ředitel, IQ Structures
“Thanks to working with JŠK, we realised the importance and necessity of legal protection of our intellectual property. And not only with regard to patent protection, but especially in contractual relations with our customers.”
Pavel Konečný, zakladatel, Neuron SW
“The things we like most about working with JŠK: flexibility, communication, efficiency, experience in IT/IP, technology orientation and a practical approach to problem-solving.”
Tomáš Říha , 4NET.TV
“At JŠK they understand IT/IP. For us a personal approach is very important and that is what we get from JŠK. What I appreciate from a technical point of view is that documents are automatically drafted in Czech and English versions, as well as their international reach thanks to their membership of the PONTES network – when we are dealing with IP issues in, for example, Austria, they can immediately help us.”
