The judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) of 19 June 2025 in the case concerning pharmacy advertising (C-200/24) brought an end to the absolute ban and at the same time opened a new discussion on how the law should be applied during the transitional period, i.e. until the Pharmaceutical Law is amended. On the one hand, the pharmaceutical inspection authorities and the autonomous pharmacy association continue to rely on Article 94a of the Pharmaceutical Law; on the other, administrative courts have consistently overturned further decisions, invoking the primacy of EU law. As a result, the market has found itself in a state of suspension—pharmacies are trying to operate under new rules, authorities are imposing fines, and courts are annulling them. It is precisely this practical “dual-track” situation that currently defines the core of the dispute over the future of pharmacy advertising in Poland.

As of 1 December 2025, a new system for the protection of geographical indications for craft and industrial products came into force across the European Union. Until now, EU-wide protection covered only foodstuffs, wine, and spirits. The new EU system of geographical indication protection now also applies to craft and industrial products whose quality, reputation, or other characteristics are attributable to their geographical origin.

At the end of November, the government’s proposal for an amendment to the Commercial Companies Code (KSH) (UD152) was submitted to the Sejm. It is intended as another stage in organizing the post-implementation landscape following the mandatory dematerialization of shares, which took effect on 1 March 2021. The reform introduced a uniform and more secure model for the trading of shares. However, as indicated in the explanatory memorandum to the proposal, practice has revealed numerous organizational pitfalls and problems with companies’ performance of their basic obligations.

On 11 September 2025, an amendment to the Developer Act entered into force, providing for new requirements for developers. One of these requirements is to maintain websites stating the date of sale or the conclusion of the first reservation agreement, and the prices per square meter of each residential unit or single-family house on offer. Websites must also state the prices of the entire property or the relevant parts covered by the agreement. The published prices must correspond to those set out in the developer agreement and must include VAT.

In November 2025, after more than a year and a half of government work, a bill amending the Act on the National Cybersecurity System was submitted to the Sejm—intended to implement the EU NIS 2 Directive. Although more than a year has passed since the deadline for implementing the NIS 2 Directive, the required legislation has still not been adopted in Poland.

Precise IP strategy is half the battle. It will help avoid problems and unnecessary costs. However, action must be taken at the right time and in the right place.

Registering a trademark in Poland is a crucial step for any company wishing to protect its brand, increase its value on the market, or create a means of protection against trademark infringement. In a registered trademark, a business has an exclusive right to use the mark. This is hugely important when building recognizability and a competitive edge.

Copyright clauses are now a standard element of many types of agreements. Whether the contract concerns a graphic design, architectural plans or a film script, provisions regulating copyright are crucial for protecting your interests. This is why they deserve particular attention.

TKP once again ranked No. 1 in Poland!
