Intellectual Property Under “Fire”: Meet Ukraine’s Legal Warriors

In this episode of Brand & New , we’re bringing you the human story behind the headlines. Willard Knox sits down with Mariya Ortynska and Yuliya Prokhoda from the National Association of Patent Attorneys of Ukraine (NAPA) for a conversation that redefines what it means to practice law under impossible circumstances. From distributing laptops during air raids to maintaining client deadlines while missiles fall, these attorneys embody resilience. This episode isn’t just about trademark law or patent prosecution; it’s about the unbreakable human spirit and the belief that innovation and legal protection must continue, especially in humanity’s darkest hours. *This episode was pre-recorded during INTA’s 2025 Annual Meeting, May 17-21, in San Diego, California.
