Trademarks play a central role in public recognition and reputation. They help to win the trust of customers and to defend against usurpation.
From the selection of a company name, product or service to its exploitation, it is essential to be well advised in order to benefit from effective long-term protection.
The /c law tm desk is designed to offer you a service tailored to your needs and to provide you with comprehensive legal support.
Not every term or logo qualifies as a valid trademark or can be effectively protected. We guide you in selecting a sign that meets the level of protection you expect.
Filing Strategy
We go beyond mere registration. Through dedicated workshops, we help you define the optimal scope of protection that aligns with your business plan and budget.
Budget Plan
As entrepreneurs ourselves, we understand the importance of having a clear understanding of expected costs and fees. We ensure transparency and provide guidance on the financial support available to you.
Protection
As your one-stop-shop, we handle all administrative filing formalities and coordinate with foreign colleagues when needed, ensuring seamless protection.
Exploitation
Trademarks are intangible assets that can be monetized through franchising, licensing, and other distribution schemes or assignments. Our drafting expertise ensures that your agreements serve your best interests.
Management
A trademark portfolio is a living asset that requires regular updates, refreshes, and renewals. To remain enforceable, a trademark must be put in genuine use for at least the past five years. We train you and help you maintain relevant records and streamline your processes.
Defence
From proceedings before IP Offices (opposition, cancellation, etc.) to complex cross-border infringement court actions, we stand by your side, offering expert litigators assistance.
Monitoring
Monitoring the market is crucial for reacting quickly to any identical or confusing trademarks that may be applied for. This proactive approach safeguards your trademark assets for the long term.
