The Firm

Maslanka & Co. is a firm dedicated to providing advisory and comprehensive management services for Industrial Property-related matters. Innovative and dynamic, the office came about as a result of the need to provide a specialised service to the industrial fabric of La Rioja and its surrounding areas. The firm was therefore founded by Dorota Maslanka in Logroño in 2007, thereby reaching a major peak in her long-standing international record in the sector. Dorota Maslanka is a European Patent and Trademark Attorney and leads a fully consolidated team of professionals. The firm operates on both a national and European scale, but it also prosecutes files anywhere in the worlds because of its network of trusted partners and correspondents.

Maslanka & Co. has forged over its years of activity close international ties with other renowned offices. These alliances provide the firm with the capacity to act beyond our borders, and the capacity to react immediately in any international proceeding. The network of partners working with Maslanka & Co., which is detailed in the map, allows the office to work in coordination with enormously experienced professionals around the world.

“Industrial Property is a fundamental pillar of the industrial world: it allows the identity of the business, as well as its technological developments, to be protected. Both aspects are essential for the legal certainty of a company, its competitiveness, the appeal to clients, and the discouragement of possible infringers. Therefore, even though the system is not perfect and may sometimes seem unfair, IP is one of the principal tools in a business being a success.

Regardless of the size of your business and of whether it operates just nationally or internationally, they all have their brand. In much the same way, those businesses that work on a technological level all have technological developments. All this represents an added value for companies, and it can be protected so as to prevent possible information leaks, copies, and unfair acts, as well as to prove their innovative value in terms of their competitiveness and positive image among clients and investors.

It is not a perfect system, but compared to doing nothing, it has an incalculable value

Our goal is to advise and help businesses protect their rights and provide them with useful tools in the event of possible disputes with third parties.
IP rights not only confer to the business an enhanced legal certainty, but also allow proving the right it holds over its trademark or patent in respect of third parties. They are able to circumvent infringement, and should any infringement occur, they provide tools to allow instituting a course of action.
While it is true that not everything always has to be protected, it is also true that what is in fact protected can guarantee the survival of the business in such a competitive market.””

“I've been in the field of IP for almost 15 years and have probably worked with hundreds of associates throughout the years. However, in the last 7 years I've been working solely with Dorota with regard to all of our European Trademarks and Patents as not other associate even comes close to Dorota's high professional standards. Dorota is very sharp, pays close attention to detail, and is constantly bringing creative ideas and strategies to the table. “
