Success stories
We advised one of the largest telecommunications companies in Lithuania on regulatory issues regarding changes in the process of selection of the administrator of the centralised number portability database as well as on the participation in a public competition for the selection of the centralised database administrator announced by the Lithuanian Communications Regulatory Authority.
We assisted one of the largest telecommunications companies in Lithuania in obtaining the right to use radio frequencies/channels. Our lawyers provided comments about the terms and procedures of tenders and auctions for the right to use radio frequencies/channels drawn up by the Communications Regulatory Authority and assisted in filing applications in such auctions and tenders.
We represented an IT products distributor in a copyright infringement case concerning the unauthorised copying of an IT code by the competitor who developed his own program on the basis of that code and gained revenue from that program. We managed to prove in court that even a part of a code may constitute an individual object of copyright protection and thus the client was paid compensation and the competitor was prohibited from using this code in his activities.
We represented an IT company in a criminal case concerning hacking their internal information system and unauthorised interception and use of electronic data. The lawyers of ECOVIS ProventusLaw managed to prove that by hacking the database of our client the competitor intended to gain competitive advantage and therefore he was prosecuted both for unauthorised interception and use of electronic data and for industrial espionage.
We represented a medical institution in the State Data Protection Inspectorate in its registration as a personal data controller, in prior checking and in drafting all personal data processing documentation required in order to obtain a permit.
