Searches
Before you start using the name, the brand, the logo or design for designating your particular product or service, it is advisable and may be necessary to conduct searches for identical or similar trademarks, in order to prevent conflicts with prior existing trademarks or other rights. Following a search, we can subsequently assess the relevance of the prior trademark rights found and provide you with an opinion on the overall registrability of your trademark.
Strategy
The registration of trademarks or designs should always be preceeded by defining a strategy that is tailor-made to the needs and requirements of the client. The strategy defines the country scope of protection, the most cost effective registration methods, as well as the requirements for monitoring and enforcing your trademark or design rights.
