Summary/Abstract: The article raises the issue of using by family businesses possibilities lying in intellectual property rights, especially industrial property rights. It contains a brief presentation of research results considering the scope and extent of industrial property rights use. This assessment was based on an analysis of documentation, received by selected companies protection rights for inventions, trademarks, utility and industrial models, geographical indications and topographies of integrated circuits.
