Pētersona patents – AAA Law celebrates its 30th anniversary

This year the intellectual property law firm Pētersona patents – AAA Law celebrates its 30th anniversary by embracing the most significant accomplishments and milestones in the past decades. Now it is a great time to honour the company’s lawyers, patent attorneys and be proud of each individual’s professional achievements.

Intellectual property provides trademark, design and patent protection and gives right holders exclusive rights to their creations. By helping to strengthen the right owners’ rights, we contribute to the entrepreneurs’ interest in investing in intellectual property and thus increasing their business value. We are glad that each year this interest is rapidly growing in Latvia and worldwide.

As a result of this trend, since 1992 Pētersona patents – AAA Law has become one of the most recognizable, reliable and experienced IP law firms in Latvia and worldwide. By commemorating our 30th anniversary, we highlight our abundant expierence in protecting and enforcing intellectual property rights in Latvia and worldwide.

One of the leading professionals of Pētersona patents – AAA Law for more than 22 years has been the managing partner Gatis Meržvinskis and the partners Dr. Ing. Artis Kromanis (European Patent Attorney) and Kristīne Viļķina (the EU trademark and design attorney).

Celebrating 30 years of experience, excellence and recognition from our clients has been achieved through hard work and knowledge. Our most important goal is to help clients develop a successful strategy for building a path towards protection of intellectual property rights in Latvia and abroad. The company’s goal for the next 10 years is to maintain its leading position in the field of intellectual property protection by providing and developing new services that ensure stability of clients in the business.” says Kristīne Vilķina.

Together with the associated partner law firms AAA Law in Lithuania and AAA Legal Services in Estonia, Pētersona patents – AAA Law consults clients on a wide range of issues related to enforcement and protection of intellectual property rights in the Baltics and internationally.
