Dispute Resolution

Contentious proceedings encompass all disputes and formal procedures conducted before state authorities, courts, or between IP rights holders. A typical contentious proceeding occurs when a trademark owner discovers an infringement of their rights by a third party—most commonly through product counterfeiting or attempts to imitate a competitor to take unfair advantage of their goodwill and reputation. Macek and Partners provides complete legal support in all contentious proceedings and negotiations concerning IP rights infringement. Our office also has extensive experience in coordinating and negotiating directly with the Czech Police and the Customs Administration.
