Philosophy

Prof. Kiškis is an advocate for rational IP protection. He believes intellectual property law should be used strategically, not as an end in itself. Competitive advantage can be achieved not only through registrations, but also through other means such as trade secrets, rapid innovation, and technological advantage.

His approach is to combine the deepest technology knowledge with legal practice, creating solutions that not only comply with legal requirements but also provide competitive advantage.
