UK-based software developer

Representing a custom software development company in Vilnius Commercial Court of Arbitration (VCCA) in a case against a FinTech company from the Netherlands. The defendant evaded settling the debt for software development services, and the plaintiff insisted on the recovery of the principal debt amount and interest for the period of default until the resolution is executed. The arbitral award was granted in favour of the client.

Trademark registration in Poland in record time

REVERA team ensured the registration of trademarks in Poland under the national procedure. One mark was registered for the product group ‘’glues and adhesives‘’ and the second one for a company in the field of jewellery and watches. Normally, the procedure of trademark registration at the Polish Patent Office takes at least 6 months, but REVERA managed to achieve the result in just four months.

Venture Capital Fund

Representing a venture capital fund in the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) in a case against a major US game developer for non-payment of a loan amount and an agreed share of profits from game sales on the Google Play Market and Apple App Store.

Domain disputes under UDRP

REVERA worked out and implemented the strategy to combat illegal utilization of the client’s TMs in 20+ domain names, revealed and blocked some of the domains, and initiated UDRP procedures against the rest of the domains. The actions of the perpetrators distracted traffic from the client's websites and involved elements of phishing.

AgroTech Startup

Trademark registration in several regions, including Europe, as well as ensuring the protection of the client's confidential information when working with partners and subcontractors. The implementation of the REVERA's strategy helped the startup to strengthen its position as a leader in the AgroTech sector and secure its top-notch technology.

A series of disputes between a Maltese gambling company and a cybersquatter about the unauthorized use of the trademarks and trade name in the digital environment. The cybersquatter actively resisted actions to block illegal materias, and attempted to spread defamatory statements about the client. REVERA worked out an anti-cybersquatting strategy, protected the Maltese company's IP, blocked fake accounts and sites, and removed defamatory publications.

Spanish manufacturer and contractor in the field of energy

As a result, the client has become a well-operated Polish business ready to raise the funds from several investors.

Growing gambling business

REVERA Polska helped the client to protect their brand name and the names of their slots. The difficulty with this project was that the client mostly used very risky names in terms of absolute grounds of refusal. However, they could not quit using these names since they were very catchy from a marketing point of view.

A studio that creates multiplayer online games

A trademark and passing-off dispute between the client and a top-level UK gamedev company in relation to the game released on Google Play Market and Apple App Store.

REVERA conducted negotiations with the UK company to reach a coexistence settlement.

UK-based Game Publisher

A large-scale dispute between the UK-based Game Publisher and the UK-based Game Studio concerning multiple agreements, including publishing agreement, investment agreement, license agreement, and other related contracts.

SEO-solutions developer

The client received a few letters from third parties where they raised their concern about the mechanics of the clients’ products, especially whether the client violates their rights when crawling.
