From filing and clearance to litigation and portfolio management, we are your trusted legal partner.

What is a trademark ?

A trademark is a sign capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one enterprise from those of another. It can be a name, logo, slogan, shape, sound, or even a color. Registered trademarks offer legal exclusivity and allow the owner to prevent others from using similar signs that could confuse consumers or dilute the brand.

Trademarks contribute significantly to brand recognition, consumer loyalty, and market value. In an era where brand identity is everything, ensuring robust legal protection is not optional—it’s essential.

The trademark registration process

Our trademark law firm guides clients through every stage of the registration process. Here’s what the journey typically looks like:

Preliminary trademark clearance search

Before filing a trademark application, conducting a clearance search is crucial. This step helps determine whether similar or identical trademarks already exist, reducing the risk of objections or future disputes.

We perform in-depth trademark searches using professional databases and analyze the results from a legal standpoint. Our attorneys assess not only visual and phonetic similarities but also potential legal risks based on jurisdiction, industry, and usage.

Filing the trademark application

Once we confirm the availability of your desired trademark, we draft and file the application before the appropriate Intellectual Property Office (such as the USPTO, EUIPO, or WIPO, depending on the territories).

Our services include:

• defining the correct classes of goods and services (under the Nice Classification)
• drafting precise and enforceable descriptions
• preparing documentation and declarations of use (when applicable)

Accurate and strategic drafting during this phase can significantly improve your chances of success and the long-term enforceability of your trademark.

Formal examination by the IP Office

After submission, the trademark application undergoes an examination phase. The IP Office checks for:

• Compliance with formal requirements
• Absolute grounds for refusal (e.g., descriptiveness, lack of distinctiveness)
• Conflicts with earlier trademarks (in some jurisdictions)

If objections arise, our trademark attorneys craft strong legal arguments and respond on your behalf, increasing the likelihood of a favorable outcome.

Publication and opposition period

If the application passes examination, it is published in an official trademark bulletin. This triggers a formal opposition period, allowing third parties to challenge the registration if they believe it infringes on their rights.

Our trademark law firm monitors such procedures proactively and represents clients both when filing oppositions and when defending against them.

Trademark registration and certificate issuance

If no opposition is filed (or the opposition is rejected), your trademark proceeds to registration. You receive a registration certificate granting exclusive rights in the relevant jurisdiction for a renewable period (typically 10 years).

We record, archive, and manage your trademark documentation and deadlines, ensuring uninterrupted protection.

Trademark monitoring and surveillance services

Securing a trademark is only the beginning. Vigilant trademark monitoring is essential to detect unauthorized uses, counterfeits, or similar filings that could harm your brand.

We offer subscription-based trademark surveillance services, which include:

• Daily monitoring of new applications and domain names
• Alerts for potentially infringing or confusing marks
• Strategic recommendations for legal action

Taking early action can prevent reputational damage, loss of market share, and lengthy litigation.

Trademark litigation and enforcement

Despite preventive measures, conflicts may arise. Our trademark law firm is experienced in all forms of trademark litigation, including:

• Oppositions and cancellations before IP offices
• Infringement lawsuits before national or regional courts
• Cease-and-desist letters and settlement negotiations
• Customs seizures of counterfeit goods
• Domain name disputes under UDRP procedures

We adopt a pragmatic and results-driven approach, aiming to protect your rights without unnecessary escalation. When litigation is necessary, we act swiftly and strategically.

Why work with a trademark law firm?

Handling trademark matters independently or via non-legal agents may seem cost-effective at first—but this approach often leads to complications. Partnering with a qualified trademark law firm ensures your IP is protected strategically, not just administratively.

Here’s why working with us makes a difference:

Strategic expertise

Our attorneys don’t just file trademarks—we advise on the best branding strategies, risk mitigation, and global protection plans. We tailor our recommendations to your commercial objectives.

Legal precision

We ensure your applications, oppositions, and contracts are drafted with legal rigor. This minimizes errors and enhances your rights’ enforceability.

International coverage

With offices and partners worldwide, our trademark law firm manages global portfolios seamlessly. We coordinate filings in multiple jurisdictions and offer consolidated reporting and billing.

Dispute resolution

Should a conflict arise, our litigators defend your rights in court or before IP authorities. We know the procedures, the players, and the tactics that win cases.

Cost efficiency

By preventing costly mistakes and disputes, our services provide a high return on investment. We also offer transparent pricing and scalable solutions for businesses of all sizes.

Trademark portfolio management

Managing a single trademark can be complex; managing dozens or hundreds requires sophisticated tools and systems. We help clients build and maintain coherent, defensible portfolios that align with their business growth.

Our portfolio management services include:

• Centralized monitoring of deadlines and renewals
• IP audits and valuation reports
• Licensing and franchising support
• Strategic expansions into new markets
• Mergers, acquisitions, and brand transfers

Whether you’re rebranding, launching a new product, or entering a foreign market, we ensure your trademark assets are secure, compliant, and valuable.

Clients turn to our trademark law firm for help with:

• A third party using a confusingly similar name or logo

• Loss of rights due to non-use or expired registrations
• Rebranding after M&A or reputational issues

We don’t just react to problems—we anticipate them.

Trademark law across jurisdictions

Trademark law varies significantly across countries. Some key differences include:

• First-to-file vs. first-to-use systems
• Duration and renewal requirements
• Scope of protection for non-traditional marks (sounds, shapes, colors)
• Local examination practices and likelihood of opposition

Our lawyers stay updated on all major jurisdictions, including the U.S., European Union, UK, China, Japan, and emerging markets. We guide clients through each territory’s rules and recommend global filing strategies like the Madrid Protocol.
