The amended Industrial Property Law becomes effective on 27 February 2020 (Journal of Laws of 26 November 2019, item 2309, the 'IPL').

The legislator intended to implement into the Polish legal order the provisions of Directive (EU) 2015/2046 of the European Parliament and of the Council regarding trademarks and Directive 2004/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the enforcement of intellectual property rights and to align national provisions with those applicable under the European Patent Convention. In addition, a number of new solutions has been introduced as far as opposition and litigation proceedings are concerned (see Amendment to the Polish Industrial Property Law, October 2019).

The Contractor As A Threat To Trade Secrets. What The GameDev Industry Can Learn From The Case Of Epic Games Versus A Former Colleague

Leaks in the video game industry are as old as the industry itself. Developers usually try to closely control the flow of information to have control over the publishing plan, but disloyal employees or determined hackers have repeatedly stood in the way. In recent years, there have been leaks with such large productions as Grand Theft Auto 6, Fallout 4 or The Last of Us 2. In the latter case, this forced Sony to change the marketing campaign and accelerate the launch of the game. Sony admitted that it suffered losses as a result.

We Are All Inventors! Here Is A Story Of A Cup, A Straw With A Weight, And Two Parents Who Changed The Parenting Industry.

Imagine a scene known to probably every parent. A child is in a car seat or a cot and tries to drink water from a cup. The cup is shut tight, the straw is in place, but in the lying position, the liquid suddenly escapes somewhere to the side, and all the toddler sucks is air. In such a situation, the parent usually either sighs and places the mug at a different angle, or, as history has shown many times, comes up with an idea how to solve this problem once and for all.

Deepfake In Advertisements For Dietary Supplements. Risks And Legal Mechanisms For Protecting Doctors

The use of new technologies, including artificial intelligence, has become common due to the acceleration of creative processes, reduction of costs and the ability to quickly create content. In addition to these benefits, however, there are serious abuses by commercial entities, especially against people who enjoy public trust, such as doctors, whose authority is sometimes used in advertisements for commercial products, including dietary supplements.
