“Taking part in the Pro Bono Support service has been an incredibly positive experience. I have provided assistance to numerous micro-companies from Romania and abroad, supporting them in areas such as trademarks, designs, and copyright. Most of the SMEs I worked with were looking for guidance on EU trademark filing strategies, but I also helped with copyright disputes, trademark infringement cases, and EUIPO opposition proceedings.
I truly believe that this initiative is mutually beneficial – a fantastic and valuable opportunity for both SMEs and IP professionals. For me, the benefits were significant: gaining professional experience, developing my client portfolio, building my reputation, and achieving personal fulfilment. For the SMEs I assisted, the impact was direct and measurable – from successfully obtaining EU trademarks to halting trademark infringements and winning oppositions within the EUIPO”.
