About us
Since 1991, the Office has been run by its founder, Paweł Górnicki. In 2019, Patent-Service Intellectual Property Protection Office merged with the esteemed law firm DR ANDRZEJ AU & CO., S.C. Led by patent attorney Marek Passowicz, our firm proudly upholds the legacy of Dr. Andrzej Au (1911-2002), a distinguished attorney who began his career in 1936. Dr Au trained under Dr Eng. Marian Kryzan, the very first President of the Polish Patent Office (1919-1920), forging a lineage of unparalleled expertise in Polish intellectual property law.
At the Patent-Service Intellectual Property Protection Office, our strength lies in our multidisciplinary team of Polish and European patent attorneys, engineers, lawyers, and economists. This diverse expertise enables us to navigate the complexities of national and international IP procedures with precision, offering comprehensive support and personalized care to our clients throughout their entire process. We seamlessly blend our rich, long-standing tradition and extensive experience with a fully modern approach to intellectual property protection. Our team includes the next generation of patent attorneys and legal professionals, who enrich our practice with fresh perspectives. They are committed to continuing the history and upholding the timeless values that have always guided us: professionalism, reliability, creativity, absolute loyalty to our clients, and full identification with their unique needs.
