When it comes to trademarks, we are involved from the moment the sign is chosen and advise you throughout its use.
Securing your trademark:
- Determine your needs and targets (which regions for which products and services)
- Identify protectable / available signs and develop a workaround strategy
- Register and renew your trademarks with the National, European and International Offices
- Monitor procedures in constant contact with the various Offices
Protecting your trademark:
- Upstream action: monitor your company’s trademarks or those of your competitors in
a given region – request for customs surveillance of countries known for
counterfeiting – amicable and preliminary negotiations – trademark purchasing - Downstream action: develop attack and defence strategies (opposition and
cancellation procedures, forfeiture actions, etc.)
Manage your trademark portfolio:
- Audit your trademark portfolio
- Develop a protection strategy in line with your development prospects
- Optimise your portfolio and define a development strategy suited to your needs (which industrial property title to choose? Streamline costs in relation to the extent of protection)
- Negotiate and draft contracts (licence agreements, franchise agreements, trademark assignments, coexistence agreements, etc.)
