Managing Partner of Lawyers.ge, Ms. Nino Tatoshvili, Becomes a Certified Intellectual Property Attorney in Georgia
December 2025, Tbilisi
On December 30, 2025, in Tbilisi, a landmark event for Georgia’s legal and business community took place when the National Intellectual Property Center of Georgia – Sakpatenti officially awarded certificates to the successful candidates of the new national Intellectual Property Attorney Qualification Examination. Among the newly certified professionals is Ms. Nino Tatoshvili, Managing Partner of Lawyers.ge, who successfully passed both stages of the examination and is now a fully certified Intellectual Property Attorney of Georgia.
This achievement is particularly significant because the qualification examination of IP attorneys was held in Georgia for the first time since 2014. The new system is part of a major national reform aimed at bringing Georgia’s intellectual property profession in line with European and international standards, strengthening investor confidence, and modernizing the protection of innovation, brands, and creative works.
The certificates were handed over personally by Mr. Soso Giorgadze, Chairman of Sakpatenti, who emphasized that the role of intellectual property attorneys is now central to the effective functioning of Georgia’s legal and economic system. He underlined that the reform opens the profession to a new generation of highly qualified lawyers who will safeguard the rights of entrepreneurs, creators, and foreign investors operating in Georgia.
The examination itself was conducted in cooperation with the Training Center of Justice of Georgia, while the examination tasks were prepared by Georgian and foreign experts recommended by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the European Patent Office (EPO). This ensured that Georgian IP attorneys are trained and certified at a level that is compatible with EU practice and international intellectual property law.
For Lawyers.ge, this milestone has a direct and practical impact on clients. With Ms. Nino Tatoshvili now officially certified as an Intellectual Property Attorney, the firm can provide full-scope, legally recognized IP representation in Georgia. This includes trademarks, industrial designs, software and digital asset protection, copyright-related strategies, licensing, opposition proceedings, and enforcement actions before Sakpatenti, courts, and international bodies.
This comes at a crucial time for international business. Following Georgia’s 2023 validation agreement with the European Patent Organisation, Georgia has become even more closely integrated into the European intellectual property system, making it an attractive jurisdiction for international brands, technology companies, and creative industries. Having a certified IP attorney at Lawyers.ge allows foreign clients to manage their IP portfolios in Georgia with confidence, clarity, and full legal protection.
Ms. Tatoshvili’s certification also strengthens Lawyers.ge’s ability to support technology companies, startups, IT firms, fintech, e-commerce, crypto platforms, pharmaceutical distributors, and creative industries that depend on strong brand and IP protection. Whether a client is registering a trademark, protecting a software product, licensing a brand, or enforcing rights against infringement, they now have access to a fully qualified IP lawyer under one roof.
Speaking after the ceremony, Ms. Tatoshvili noted that the reform of the intellectual property profession marks a new era for Georgia as an innovation-friendly jurisdiction, giving businesses stronger legal tools to protect their ideas, brands, and digital assets.
For clients of Lawyers.ge in Georgia and abroad, this certification means one thing: their intellectual property is now protected by a lawyer who is not only experienced in international legal practice, but also officially recognized by the Georgian state and international IP institutions as a qualified intellectual property attorney.
This is more than a title. It is a professional guarantee that brands, trademarks, digital products, and creative rights entrusted to Lawyers.ge are protected at the highest legal standard available in Georgia today.
