Who we worked for
Visual Reading - an educational app for people with special needs
We represented an internationally award-winning educational app for people with special needs.
We carried out a spin-off of the project from its parent company. We set up a simple joint-stock company, modified the rights to the application source code, transferred the intellectual property rights from the original authors to the new company and registered an EU trademark.

Dušan BaranecCEO
What was the most challenging part of this legal project?
„Believing for a long time that we are doing the right thing. This is a next-generation learning tool that is very challenging to implement in everyday school practice, both humanly and technologically. Most special educators are not prepared to teach children in new ways, even when they use scientifically proven concepts.“
What is key in evaluating the success of a law firm's work?
„The success of a law firm's work means to me that the attorney will deliver the service I require and will do so in the most efficient manner and in accordance with the current state of the law.“
What made the cooperation with MATHISON specific for you and how do you rate it?
„Everything was specific, as it was the first time I found myself in a situation where I was setting up a simple joint-stock company, and transferring the results of a project from one company to another.“
IP consultancy for an advertising and digital agency
We represented a leading Czech-Slovak advertising and digital services client in claiming damages from copyright infringement, in drafting Work Contracts (software, graphics, website design etc.), in drafting Licensing and Sublicensing Agreements and in recovering claims resulting from these contracts.
Working with this client gave us valuable legal experience related to creativity in their field and has made us better IP lawyers.

Igor LučanskýCEO, MAISON D’IDÉE Prague s.r.o.
What was the most challenging part of this legal project for you personally?
„Trying to clarify the specifics of our industry, especially the licensing terms and protecting us not only from the client but also from the contractors who are usually part of the work. It was important to explain the business model clearly enough. The challenge was to accept that there are shortcomings on our side as well, to realize them and fix them.“
What is key in evaluating the success of a law firm's work?
„Speed and clarity in communication - we don't like legalese. With contracts, we liked the fact that the counterparties had minimal comments and mostly accepted them to the extent given. I also appreciate when contracts are written in a mutually beneficial way so that both we and the partner can swiftly confirm them.“
What made the cooperation with MATHISON special for you and how do you rate it?
„It was specific for us mainly in the fact that for the first time we entrusted entire legal agenda to one law firm and we did it simultaneously for a Czech and a Slovak entity. What was specific was the level of trust with which we opened up about our internal matters. However, we understood that this is what our clients want in our business and we tried it out. To this day we have no regrets and look forward to working with them again.“

What was the most challenging part of this legal project for you personally?
„The most challenging part of this project was to choose the right law firm that is experienced in trademark agenda, as this is one of the crucial steps for us to properly direct our activities in export markets.“
What is key in evaluating the success of a law firm's work?
„I sum it up in a few words: professionalism and knowledge of the specific field.“
What made the cooperation with MATHISON specific for you and how do you rate it?
