Falling within a wider IP, GDPR, and regulatory team, VILGERTS‘ IP branch of the practice is growing its presence in unique design and copyright infringement cases, due to their lack of precedent, adding to an already diverse practice of trade mark, patent, and copyright infringement assistance. Brigita Tērauda and Ineta Krodere lead the team, the former of whom is key for trade mark opposition cases. Practitioners also thrive in licensing advice and advice on commercial agreements with an IP nexus. This includes IP and data protection aspects of cooperation and franchise agreements, a strength of Kalīne Ozola.
