Read the article about Ukraine resuming the IP system.
Please be informed that on 16 April 2025, the Ukrainian Parliament adopted a new law that cancels the special wartime IP rules enacted in 2022. These rules temporarily suspended various deadlines and extended IP rights during the martial law period. The new law will enter into force 30 days after its official publication, following signature by the President of Ukraine.
We are excited to announce that Papula-Nevinpat has won the Finland Patent Prosecution Firm of the Year at the Managing IP EMEA Awards 2025!
