Koval & Partners specializes in obtaining, managing and enforcing intellectual property rights. Founded in 2003, the firm brings over 23 years of continuous, stable presence to the Ukrainian market.
Our team is built around deeply experienced partners and senior counsels who provide direct oversight and tailored commercial strategies for every client mandate. We deliberately maintain an operational scale that balances the administrative capacity needed for large corporate portfolios with the flexibility, cost-efficiency and personal attention of a dedicated practice.
Our core services cover the entire registration and management lifecycle of IP assets. We prosecute, maintain and manage trademarks, inventions, utility models and industrial designs. For clients scaling globally, we secure international protection under major treaties, coordinating filings via the PCT, EPO, Madrid System, EUTM and Hague System procedures.
Furthermore, we possess strong technical and legal competence in protecting computer programs, databases, digital solutions and domain names. This technical practice is fully supported by our in-house capabilities for precise technical translation.
In enforcement and litigation, we focus on defending client assets through both administrative and judicial channels. We regularly handle the detection of IP infringements, advise on complex disputes and develop practical solutions for conflict resolution. Our team places a strong emphasis on pre-trial settlement, actively representing clients in negotiations. When necessary, we provide robust representation in IP litigation and enforcement actions across courts of general jurisdiction, commercial courts, the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine and the Appeals Chamber.
Our transactional practice covers drafting and negotiating all forms of agreements for the disposal of IP rights, including license agreements, assignments, transfers, usage rights, IP clauses in employment contracts and IP development agreements.
We are active members of key global and regional legal associations, including AIPPI, INTA, the Ukrainian Bar Association (UBA) and the Ukrainian Patent Attorneys Association (UPAA), ensuring our practice remains fully aligned with evolving global standards and cross-border trends.
