Chambers Europe 2020
“Mariusz Kondrat advises many life sciences clients on IP infringement cases, including patents and trade marks. Clients note his succinct advice, with one reporting that “he doesn’t talk much but he’s very to the point,” and describing him as “someone who can point to what he thinks is the best solution.”
World Trademark Review 2020
“Registering violet as a brand color for leading telecoms company PLAY was the showstopping moment of the year for the expanding team of highly skilled IP rights specialists at KONDRAT & Partners. With few colors registered at the Polish Patent Office, this marked a significant coup for the company and its client. The architect behind this outstanding achievement was managing partner and pharmaceutical and life sciences doyen Mariusz Kondrat – “an experienced and reliable adviser who is responsible for handling the most impressive trademark portfolios”. Co-captain of the trademark department and renowned author Ewa Niesiobędzka-Krause recently teamed up with Kondrat to handle potential actions and unfair competition analysis for global cosmetics company Avon.”

“Kondrat & Partners is a reference for brand owners in the pharmaceutical sector. “Experienced and reliable adviser” Mariusz Kondrat, the ensemble’s managing partner, has helped shape pharmaceutical law in Poland and written commentaries on it. However, it operates with finesse across a diverse variety of sectors giving clients of all stripes a superior customer service; the innovative firm deploys a self-developed management system giving clients 24/7 online access to their trademark files.
