Recognition

Legal 500 (2010 edition) on TARK GRUNTE SUTKIENE:

• Tark & Co (predecessor in Estonia) is ‘expert at patent litigation and trade mark infringement cases’. The firm represented Estonia’s biggest alcohol producer in trade mark litigation, alongside safeguarding IP rights for Sony, Hewlett Packard, and Cisco, and advising on major litigation concerning software license disputes. Toomas Taube garners ‘very good opinions; very professional, easy to 
work with’.
• Although former partner Karlis Reihmanis has departed Grunte & Cers (predecessor in Latvia), Andra Rubene has maintained her profile, praised for her ‘warm personality and precise advice’. The team advised Spanish telecoms giant Telefónica on Latvian legal matters, whilst defending Borjomi (a Georgian mineral water producer) in domain-name protection and trade mark defence.
• Neringa Gražinyte represented PKN ORLEN, the owner of oil giant Mažeikiu nafta, on IP issues extending the firm’s trade mark practice into the energy sector. Other clients include Bigbank and pharma company Lundbeck.

 Chambers Europe (2010 edition) on TARK GRUNTE SUTKIENE:

• This IP team is integrated into the firm's corporate and commercial department, reflecting its transactional approach. It offers significant strength in trade marks and assists with both applications and disputes. An impressive track record in litigation allied with close co-operation with some of Estonia's leading patent agents has allowed the firm to amass an enviable portfolio of clients. These include household names such as Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco Systems and Microsoft. IP guru Toomas Taube wins effusive praise from clients.
