Corporate and Commercial Law
Intellectual Property
We advise businesses on the protection, ownership, commercialisation and use of intellectual property and other intangible assets. The English legal system, the professionalism and the ‘intellectual property box regime’ renders Cyprus the most favorable jurisdiction to register and manage intellectual property rights.
Intellectual property increasingly forms a substantial part of the value of a business. Our work therefore extends beyond registration and protection to the contractual arrangements governing how intellectual property is created, transferred, licensed and commercially exploited.
Our law firm offers a full range of contentious and non-contentious legal services in Intellectual Property Law. Andreas Georghadjis LLC besides consulting, handle Patent and Trademark Registration, they offer consulting on Copyright Law, handle Domain Name Disputes, Trade Secrets and Franchising.
Our firm has been involved in many of the major cases involving intellectual property rights disputes before the Courts of Cyprus over the past 10 years with unparalleled success. Due to the unique characteristics of the intellectual property rights sector, fast and effective response is required. We have successfully obtained several orders for clients seeking interim relief such as interim injunctions, granted by the court to preserve the status quo pending trial.
