Abstract

This article aims to analyze the current challenges faced by attorneys in defending the intellectual property rights of their clients. In an era of rapid technological advancements and globalization, intellectual property has become a valuable asset but also more susceptible to infringements. Therefore, attorneys need to have a deep understanding of intellectual property concepts and principles, as well as the legal aspects associated with its protection. The article analyzes the main issues encountered by attorneys in defending intellectual property rights. These include lengthy registration procedures for copyrights, copyright infringements, plagiarism, unauthorized use of copyrighted works, patent infringements, and trademark counterfeiting. Attorneys are required to conduct research, gather evidence, and represent the interests of their clients in legal proceedings to ensure effective protection of their rights. The growth of technology and the development of the digital economy present new challenges in the field of intellectual property protection. Attorneys must stay informed about the latest technological trends and understand how these technologies impact the legal aspects of intellectual property. They need to adapt to the new realities of the digital economy and provide adequate protection for their clients’ rights in the digital environment. Attorneys should also engage in international cooperation regarding the protection of intellectual property. Globalization and international trade impose new requirements on attorneys, as infringements of intellectual property rights may have an international dimension. Collaborating with attorneys from other countries allows for the exchange of experiences and coordination of efforts to effectively protect clients’ rights in an international context. The conclusion of the article emphasizes the need for the introduction of a simplified registration process for intellectual property objects for attorneys and its significance. Rapid technological progress and globalization create new challenges in this field, and attorneys need to be prepared to adapt to changes and utilize modern tools and technologies for the effective defense of their clients’ rights. The importance of international cooperation for successful intellectual property protection on a global scale should also be emphasized.
