IP protection under sanctions

Comprehensive solution for the maintenance and protection of intangible assets in the new legal landscape.

In a shifting sanctions landscape, even legal transactions involving intellectual property can lead to unpredictable consequences: asset freezes, administrative fines, or loss of exclusive rights.

The service we provide minimizes these risks for businesses, creators and IPR holders, ensuring legal certainty and business continuity. We design bespoke IP protection strategies to safeguard your assets and legally adapt your business model to the new environment.

Key Service Areas

    • Strategic IP Audit
      Comprehensive portfolio analysis to identify sanctions-related risks, assess jurisdictional vulnerabilities, and develop a step-by-step protection plan.
    • Business Model Adaptation
      Designing legally sound frameworks for interacting with rightsholders, licensees, and counterparties across various jurisdictions, ensuring full compliance with both international and national regulations.
    • Proactive Asset Protection
      Re-registration of rights, restructuring of contractual relationships, and the creation of “sanctions-resilient” legal structures to secure long-term protection of the client’s interests.

    * This service is critical for owners of inventions, utility models, and industrial designs. Failure to implement a timely strategy may result in the inability to obtain legal protection in key jurisdictions, the blocking of technology exports, or the loss of competitive advantage in international markets.

    We help you:

      • Maintain priority and patentability for your innovations;
      • Facilitate the legal transfer of technology;
      • Provide end-to-end support for obtaining protection across all jurisdiction.
