Trademark registration and protection
Application, prosecution and maintenance of national, European and international trademarks before the OEPM, EUIPO and WIPO. Trademark portfolio strategy and protection of distinctive signs linked to business activities, cultural projects, artists, events, festivals and products.
How we work
Our methodology for this service
Distinctiveness analysis and prior search
We assess the sign's distinctiveness and conduct prior art searches in the OEPM, EUIPO and WIPO databases to detect potential conflicts and assess registration prospects before filing the application.
Protection strategy and filing
We define the optimal protection strategy — Nice classes, territories, registration modalities — and file the application before the relevant offices with the most effective description to maximise coverage.
Procedure monitoring and oppositions
We manage the procedure before the registries, respond to examiner objections and defend the trademark against third-party oppositions or file oppositions against conflicting marks.
Portfolio maintenance and watching
We manage renewals, modifications and active watching of the trademark portfolio to detect third-party applications that may affect the client's rights and act accordingly.
Who this is for
Companies launching or developing commercial brands needing a robust protection strategy, creators and artists with projects requiring identity protection, and business groups with trademark portfolios needing active strategic management.
