FAQ
1. What should I do if my account is blocked or my listings on the marketplace are removed?
In situations such as the blocking of a seller's account or the unjustified removal of a listing, a quick legal analysis of the reasons for the platform's decision is crucial. We offer professional legal services for marketplace disputes, which includes preparing appeals, fighting negative reviews and representation in unfair competition disputes. Our experience allows us to negotiate effectively with platform administrations to restore sales and minimise business losses.
2. How to successfully register and protect a trademark in foreign markets?
We start the process with a registrability examination to ensure that your brand does not infringe third-party rights. We then conduct a comprehensive registration of trademarks and industrial designs in the country and before the EUIPO (EU-wide protection), also helping you to obtain funding for this. We also provide support in enforcing IP rights in foreign markets, which is essential for e-commerce expansion outside Poland.
3. Do the terms and conditions of the online shop protect the seller from an OCCP inspection?
The rules and regulations themselves are only part of the success - they must be precisely aligned with current marketplace practices. We specialise in auditing and creating legal documentation for marketplaces, ensuring compliance with consumer protection requirements. We are experienced in proceedings before the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (OCCP) in cases involving pricing policies and promotions, allowing us to protect your business from hefty financial penalties and allegations of unlawful market practices.
