Erik Špila

Attorney-at-law and founder of an IP-focused modern practice, advising local and international clients on trademarks, designs, copyright and related commercial matters. My work covers EU trademark and design strategy and filings, portfolio structuring, renewals and practical prevention of IP risks as businesses expand. I also handle a wide range of licensing and contract drafting and negotiation work for businesses. My work mostly includes supporting a diverse range of clients — including startups, game studios, developers, designers, authors, content creators and all sort of creative businesses to which I deliver practical legal support in IP and commercial law. One of my professional goals is to make intellectual property protection more accessible and understandable to everyone, which is why I also write professional articles on intellectual property protection tailored for entrepreneurs and business owners.
