Anna Miniewicz
EUIPO Professional Representative · Polish attorney-at-law
I advise international businesses, brands and technology companies on EU trademarks, designs, brand protection and technology-related agreements.
My practice combines EUIPO representation with broader experience in intellectual property, commercial contracts and disputes, allowing me to assess IP issues in their wider business context.
Credentials

Experience
Before establishing IP-MC Law Firm, I worked with law firms in Wrocław and Warsaw and supported one of the leading food groups in Central and Eastern Europe as part of its Intellectual Property Legal Team.
Today, I advise businesses both on protecting their IP assets and on using them effectively in commercial relationships, market expansion and enforcement.
Selected experience
Prepared an action before the General Court of the European Union challenging the refusal of an EU trademark application. The General Court upheld the action, resulting in a favourable outcome for the client.
Successfully handled proceedings before the Polish Patent Office, resulting in the invalidation of a competitor’s industrial design and the revocation of the competitor’s trademark rights.
Obtained interim relief for a client in an EU trademark infringement matter, prohibiting the defendant from using the contested sign while the dispute was pending.
Advised on copyright issues arising from a dispute following an M&A transaction, contributing to a successful insurance recovery for the client.
Advised on a complex EU regulatory matter concerning dual food quality, where my legal analysis contributed to a change in the methodology previously applied by the administrative authority, with a beneficial outcome for the client.
