Petrović Mojsić & Partners provides legal advice and representation in intellectual property law in Serbia. Our intellectual property lawyers assist domestic and international clients with trademarks, patents, industrial designs, copyright, licensing, assignments and IP disputes. We support clients throughout the lifecycle of intellectual property rights — from protection and registration strategy to commercialization, enforcement and dispute resolution — with a practical focus on the Serbian legal and regulatory framework.
Our intellectual property practice advises companies, entrepreneurs, inventors, rights holders and international counsel on protecting and enforcing IP rights in Serbia. We combine registration and portfolio work with transactional advice and contentious representation, allowing clients to address both the legal protection of an asset and its commercial use.
We advise on the Serbian aspects of trademark, patent and industrial design protection, including filing strategy, registration procedures, oppositions, changes in ownership and other registry matters. For a detailed overview of filing, prosecution and related representation, see our IP Services in Serbia.
Our work includes Serbian trademark applications and oppositions, trademark assignments and licences, patent-related matters including patent validation, and industrial design protection. Where an international portfolio is involved, we coordinate the Serbian-law steps with foreign counsel and rights holders.
Intellectual property rights are frequently central to commercial transactions. We draft and review trademark, patent, copyright and technology licence agreements, assignment agreements and related contractual arrangements, and advise on the Serbian-law requirements for recording transfers or licences where registration is relevant.
We also advise on IP provisions in broader commercial agreements, corporate transactions, technology projects and collaborations where ownership, permitted use, confidentiality or exploitation of intellectual property must be clearly allocated.
Our lawyers advise on infringement, unauthorized use, unfair exploitation of protected rights and other intellectual property disputes. Depending on the matter, assistance may include cease-and-desist strategy, settlement negotiations, administrative proceedings and court representation in Serbia.
We also assist with trademark opposition and cancellation matters and with disputes concerning ownership, licensing, contractual use and enforcement of intellectual property rights.
We advise on copyright and related rights, including contractual allocation and use of copyright-protected works, software and other digital assets. This work may include licence terms, development and service agreements, ownership clauses, confidentiality provisions and the IP aspects of technology and digital-business projects.
Foreign companies and rights holders can instruct our Belgrade office directly on Serbian intellectual property matters. We regularly work with international clients and foreign law firms and can handle Serbian proceedings and documentation through an appropriate power of attorney where required.
For an explanation of the Serbian legal framework governing trademarks, patents, industrial designs, copyright and enforcement, see our IP Law in Serbia overview.
Our approach is to treat intellectual property as a business asset rather than a registration exercise in isolation. We advise on protection, ownership, commercialization and enforcement in a coordinated way and work with clients to identify the Serbian legal steps that are commercially proportionate to the value and risk of the matter.
For an opposition, identify the contested application, the earlier right and the goods or services that overlap. The Serbian Intellectual Property Office explains how to identify the relevant publication for a national application or a Madrid designation of Serbia. We assess opposition grounds and evidence, and distinguish an objection to registration from an infringement claim concerning use in the market. We also advise on Serbian trade mark registration and international registrations designating Serbia.
For a granted European patent, we check the grant publication details and coordinate Serbian validation, translation and renewal requirements with patent professionals. Where a third party has registered a domain corresponding to a brand, the relevant evidence includes the registration details and how the domain is used. Our guide explains the dispute procedure for Serbian national domain names.
Request Serbian IP counsel for a filing, opposition, licensing transaction or dispute. A brief description, the parties’ names, any application or registration number and the next deadline will help us check for conflicts and identify the first step.
