AAA Law Latvia

What AAA Law Latvia does

AAA Law Latvia, legally SIA Pētersona patents – AAA law, is a specialist intellectual property law firm founded in 1992 and headquartered in Riga, Latvia, with sister offices in Vilnius (UAB AAA Law) and Tallinn (AAA Legal Services) that together provide coordinated cross-border IP services across the Baltic States. The firm markets itself as operating the largest team of European patent attorneys in the Baltic States and delivers five core practice lines: patents (search, drafting, filing, prosecution, portfolio management, commercialization), trademarks and designs (search, filing, prosecution, monitoring, opposition and cancellation), IP dispute resolution (before national courts, the Industrial Property Board of Appeal, the Patent Office, EUIPO, and EPO), anti-counterfeiting and customs rights enforcement, and copyright. It also offers add-on modules including free consultation days booked via Calendly and an EU Fund Support service that helps SMEs access EU Cohesion Policy subsidies for IP protection. Its revenue model is professional services on a quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed fee structure, with official Latvian registration fees serving as a public reference (EUR 210 patents, EUR 185 trademarks) and professional fees varying by complexity and jurisdiction. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: industry reputation, referrals, INTA/MARQUES conference participation, the firm blog, and free consultation days feed inbound enterprise and SME mandates. The firm is led by Managing Partner Gatis Meržvinskis with partners Gunta Zariņa and Toms Lintiņš, and it holds consecutive top-tier rankings from WTR1000 (Gold), IP Stars (Tier 1), IAM Patent 1000, and Managing IP, including "Baltics Firm of the Year 2026." Technology is limited to internal IP case management and portfolio tracking systems rather than proprietary platforms; there is no app, API, or disclosed AI capability.
