A trademark<\/a> is a legally protected identifying mark such as a name, logo, symbol, word, slogan or a combination thereof. It distinguishes and identifies your product or service from those of your competitors. A trademark gives you the exclusive right to use the mark for specific goods or services within a defined geographical area.<\/p>\n

Unlike patents, which are limited in time, a\u00a0<\/span>trademark<\/a>\u00a0can remain your property indefinitely, provided it is renewed on time with the local or regional trademark registers. The initial filing date of your trademark is crucial in this, as it determines the start of your monopoly and can give you a six\u2011month priority right worldwide. You can count on our\u00a0<\/span>trademark attorneys and paralegals<\/a>\u00a0to handle all the administration required to register and protect your trademark rights. After an initial\u00a0<\/span>discussion<\/a>\u00a0and a favourable preliminary search, we file your trademark in all relevant countries. We subsequently ensure that your trademark is renewed everywhere in good time, so that it remains your property. You can expect transparency, clarity and a proactive approach.<\/span><\/p>\n

An Availability Search is a legal investigation, usually carried out in the field of trademark law, to determine whether a trademark or logo is available for use and registration. It prevents conflicts and avoids investments in a trademark being lost due to opposition proceedings.<\/span><\/p>\n
