In recent days, patent attorneys from POLSERVICE Patent and Trademark Attorneys Office have been actively involved in discussions on proposed legislative changes as well as on the quality and reliability of intellectual property proceedings in Poland.
Bartosz Krakowiak, Board Member at POLSERVICE and Chairman of AIPPI Polska, took part in a consultation meeting organized by the Polish Patent Office (Urząd Patentowy Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej). The meeting continued the discussion on the planned amendment to the Industrial Property Law (UDER85), which provides for the possibility of keeping evidence submitted to prove use of a trademark confidential even from the other party to the proceedings.
At the same time, the fifth work cycle of the pilot Advisory Panel on Quality at the Polish Patent Office came to an end. This cycle was devoted to assessing the quality of decisions in patent and utility model invalidation cases, as well as in trademark opposition proceedings.
