Firm overview
Operating in the market since 1964, POLSERVICE Patent and Trademark Attorneys Office is a leading intellectual property firm in Poland and Central Europe. With decades of experience, the firm delivers comprehensive IP services to clients across diverse industries and technology sectors at both national and EU/EPO levels. Long-standing collaboration with renowned patent and law firms across Europe, the United States, Canada, Central and South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia places POLSERVICE in a strong position to provide robust legal protection for clients worldwide.

This multidisciplinary firm brings together European and Polish patent and trademark attorneys, attorneys-at-law, and advocates. POLSERVICE is organized into four specialized teams:

Patent Team I, focusing on inventions and utility models in mechanics, mechatronics, civil and environmental engineering, materials and chemical engineering, and construction.

Patent Team II, specializing in chemistry, biotechnology, pharmacy, electronics, IT, and new plant varieties.

Trademark and Legal Team, handling trademarks, designs, trade names, geographical indications, domain names, unfair competition, anti-piracy and anti-counterfeiting efforts, as well as litigation, legal opinions, agreements, and broader legal aspects of IP.

Annuities Team, managing patent annuity payments, patent translations, and general IP protection queries.

The firm serves a diverse client base – including multinational corporations, SMEs, start-ups, research centers, and universities – and offers a one-stop-shop experience across a full range of IP services, from searches and prosecution to renewals, recordals, licensing, and enforcement (litigation). Representation extends to both national and international IP bodies, such as the Polish Patent Office, European Patent Office (EPO), European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), and World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). POLSERVICE attorneys also appear on behalf of clients before administrative, civil (IP), criminal, and arbitration courts, with several registered as representatives before the Unified Patent Court (UPC).

Beyond client representation, POLSERVICE actively contributes to shaping IP law through involvement in legislative reforms, including the draft IP Act in Poland and changes to the epi rules for European Patent Attorneys. Team members hold prominent roles in advisory and quality panels at the Polish Patent Office and EUIPO, ensuring high standards in IP practices.

POLSERVICE is deeply engaged in the global intellectual property community. Its attorneys are members of leading international intellectual property organizations, including AIPPI, INTA, ECTA, LES, UNION, MARQUES, FICPI, and epi, holding leadership or elected postitions within their bodies and committees. They also represent the firm at national and international industry events, such as the BIO International Convention, and collaborate with associations like the Polish Association of Biotechnology Companies BioForum.

The firm’s attorneys are frequent contributors to publications and media, offering expert insights on emerging trends and developments in intellectual property. The firm also actively promotes intellectual property education by partnering with universities, delivering lectures at academic institutions such as Kozminski University in Warsaw, the Academy of European Law (ERA) in Trier, the University of Gdańsk, the Medical University of Gdańsk, and the Polish Academy of Sciences, as well as contributing to events held by professional and industry organizations including epi, WIPO, Polish Chamber of Patent Attorneys (PIRP), Central European Technology Forum (CETEF), and Polish Association of Centers for Technology Transfer (PACTT).

POLSERVICE is consistently recognized by respected cross-border IP law firm directories and rankings, such as Managing IP’s IP STARS, IAM Patent 1000, IAM Strategy 300, WTR 1000, Lexology Index: Intellectual Property, Financial Times’ Europe’s Leading Patent Law Firms, WIPR Leaders, Chambers and Partners, and more.

Committed to innovation and security, the firm has implemented ISO/IEC 27001-certified Information Security Management System, ensuring operational integrity and client trust. The firm’s computerized IP record management system allows safe and efficient handling of information. POLSERVICE also integrates artificial intelligence into workflows – particularly for IP searches and monitoring – to further enhance service speed and precision.
Patent case

Representation before Polish administrative courts (District Administrative Court in Warsaw and Supreme Administrative Court) concerning the correct calculation of the six-month time limit for filing a supplementary protection certificate (SPC) request under Regulation (EC) No 469/2009. The dispute centered on whether the date of the patent grant should be interpreted as the date of the decision to grant or the date of publication of the mention of grant. The Supreme Administrative Court ruled that the “date of grant of a patent” within the meaning of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 469/2009 corresponds to the date of publication of the notice of patent grant in the Official Bulletin of the Patent Office (WUP). This landmark decision is expected to change the Polish Patent Office’s practice and provide greater legal certainty for SPC applicants.
