DR. MICHAŁ MARKIEWICZ FOR RZECZPOSPOLITA – WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF INACTION IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW.

In today’s Rzeczpospolita, Dr. Michal Markiewicz writes about selected dangers of inaction by intellectual property rights holders. This is because it is worth remembering that procrastination in taking appropriate action can have very harsh consequences, including dismissal of a lawsuit and limiting the ability to raise claims also against future infringements. In the text, he draws attention, among other things, to: the time limit for applying for injunctive relief, the consequences of tolerating the use of a trademark that interferes with another, previously registered one, the plea of “venire contra factum proprium” and the differences between the above plea and the institution of the statute of limitations.
