Czech Republic and Slovakia
Petr Holy/Marketa Shubik:
We change our set up in Czech R/Slovakia from a React agency (for more than 10 years) into a partnership. With the agency, React takes the full office costs, whereas in a partnership, we pay per case. Two reasons for the change:
- An ongoing deficit situation for React since the number of cases in Cz Republic decreased
- We wanted to raise the legal level of the services rendered in these countries
Marketa has partnered with Peter Holy (who worked for Rott, Ruzcika and Guttmann and various other reputed IP firms in Prague. Petr is a very experienced IP lawyer and in the new set up he will manage the legal part and Marketa the practical on the ground services. The fees chart for Czech R/Slovakia will remain unchanged
