Polina Kursheva
Director of Communications
I appreciate that in trademarks every detail matters: a single stroke can change how a brand is perceived. It is fascinating to watch a sketch evolve into a mark people will recognize. The most valuable moment is seeing clients' reactions when they receive their first registered brand. Each case feels like a small investigation, and every project is a new story I am involved in.
Elena Leonova
Lead Application Support Specialist
Elena is the "grand piano in the orchestra" of iPpro: she ensures seamless and precise communication with Rospatent on your applications every day. Thousands of requests pass through her hands each year — and each one receives not just formal processing, but personal attention and professional support. Her approach is speed, reliability, and results. What is discussed with a client in the morning can already be registered in the official registry by evening. Accelerated application review and prompt certificate issuance are not just promises, but her professional working style. Thanks to Elena, deadlines are compressed, risks are minimized, and your rights are reliably recorded in government databases.
