Pavlov Build Eood, operating as Pavlov & Co, is a Sofia-headquartered boutique law firm founded in 2012 that provides a full range of intellectual property legal services in Bulgaria and across EU jurisdictions. The core offering covers the entire IP lifecycle: patent grant procedures (national, European, PCT), trademark registration and enforcement (national, EUTM, Madrid), industrial designs (national, RCD, Hague), copyright and related rights, IP litigation across administrative, civil, and criminal fora, anti-counterfeiting (border measures, market monitoring, destruction operations), IP valuation, and trademark/competition monitoring. The firm supplements this IP core with adjacent practices in commercial and corporate law, unfair competition representation before the Bulgarian Commission for Protection of Competition, and privacy/data protection compliance (including GDPR-aligned services; the firm is itself registered with the Bulgarian CPDP and the UK ICO).

Its technology base is the standard professional services stack for IP practice (EUIPO, BPO, WIPO, EPO procedures) without disclosed proprietary technology platforms. The business model is engagement-based professional services: hourly fees for consultation and representation, fixed fees for defined registration procedures, and litigation retainers. The go-to-market is sales-led and reputation-driven, leveraging analyst rankings (WTR 1000, IP Stars, Chambers Europe, Legal 500), industry awards (2023 Global IP Award), and referrals to win enterprise mandates from international brands (SOCIETE BIC, LACOSTE, BEL S.A., Epay, POLMOS) and Bulgarian corporates (DEVIN, PHILICON 97, Black Sea Gold, University of National and World Economy).
