New article in the weekly magazine Do rzeczy about the court case handled by the law firm KG Legal Kiełtyka Gładkowski

The article describes in details the cross-border case of parental abduction handled by KG Legal Kiełtyka Gładkowski. It also includes an expert comment made by the founding partner, Jakub Gładkowski: “As a rule, under the Hague Convention, the court should order the return of the child to the country from which he or she came, in order to restore the original state from before the departure, so that the competent court of the country from which the child left, could settle all the parental matters regarding the family in its competent jurisdiction. However, there are two exceptions to this rule according to art. 13 of the Hague Convention, namely the case when the remaining parent did not exercise parental authority over the abducted child or when the child return would pose a grave risk for the child (mental or physical) or would otherwise place the child in an unbearable situation”.

Polish IP law – new definition of trademark and trademark renewal procedure

Polish IP law – new definition of trademark and trademark renewal procedure. On 17th January, 2019 the Polish Parliament passed an amendment to the Intellectual Property Law Act. It was necessary to adapt the said law to the requirements presented by the EU directive 2015/2436, which aimed at approximating the legislation of the Member States concerning trademarks.
In view of the current technological developments and the creativity of entrepreneurs, the definition of the trademark was amended. The trademark may still be ‘a word, including a name, a drawing, a letter, a number, a colour, a spatial form, including the shape of an item or a packaging’, and now also sound.
Entrepreneurs will also benefit from the changes concerning the procedure for the renewal of trademark protection rights. Procedure will be less formal and faster. It will be sufficient to pay the fee within a specified period of time, which will have to be notified by the Polish Patent Office.
