December has started with a workshop of the 13th edition of “IP Student”! Zuzanna Ochońska worked with students on practical aspects of writing lawsuits in unfair competition cases. Now the students are working on their own, facing interesting and not easy cases, preparing their lawsuits. In March 2022, we would like to invite all program participants to attend a lecture conducted by Zuzanna Ochońska, “Fashion Law”. This is a timely topic, because the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) has recently taken a strong stance on influencers. Quoting from the organizers: “IP Student is a series of workshops on intellectual property law and new technologies. IP Student workshops are organized by the Society of Intellectual Property Law at the Faculty of Law and Administration of the Jagiellonian University in cooperation with K. Tusiński, attorney-at-law”.
