Hard facts in your intellectual property protection

Andrzej Zieliński has been working at Alians Business Diplomacy since 2018. Over the last 6 years, he has closed exactly 34 intellectual property audits for software houses from the Katowice and Gliwice region. He does not deal with theoretical considerations. He is interested in the hard facts contained in technical documentation and contracts with developers. Money likes silence, so Andrzej builds protection structures that work effectively without making unnecessary noise around the company.

In July 2023, Andrzej carried out a code securing operation for a fintech company before a foreign investor entered. He then detected a lack of 12 statements on the transfer of copyrights to key payment system modules. Thanks to his intervention, it was possible to avoid lowering the company's valuation by 450,000 PLN. The entire repair process took him 4 business days. For him, the game for control starts with order in papers that no one else wants to read.

His main working tool is a tight share structure combined with precise IP security. In March 2024, Andrzej prepared 11 new filings for the Patent Office. He preceded each of them with a 3-stage state-of-the-art verification, which minimizes the risk of the application being rejected. At Alians Business Diplomacy, he is responsible for making sure that IP does not leak from the company along with a departing partner or key developer.

He honestly admits that not every idea deserves a patent. Sometimes it's better to keep a solution as a company secret, which saves time and resources. This pragmatic approach makes our clients not waste their budget on unnecessary procedures. Andrzej answers queries within 4 business hours because in the technology industry, a delay is a real financial loss.

At ADB, Andrzej watches over the security of 47 regular clients for whom IP is the business foundation. If there is even 1% uncertainty about authorship in your code repository, he will find it and fix it. He has been doing this for 9 years and so far, no investment audit has questioned the structure he prepared. He can be stubborn when checking details, but it is precisely this meticulousness that protects your money during tough negotiations.
