Protect your trade marks, protect your identity
Providing a unique corporate product or service identity, your company's trade mark is extremely valuable intellectual property.
With a trade mark registration you can object to the use and registration of identical or similar trade marks by another person or business. It gives you the right to prevent the use of the trade mark for the same or related products and services.
Regardless of whether your company is large or small, if it is seeking to register new trade marks, our international trade mark attorneys carry out trade mark searches in all jurisdictions around the world and provide expert opinion on the availability and registrability of any proposed mark. On your behalf, they frame effective filing strategies and investigate the use of conflicting trade marks. If necessary, they will negotiate with the owners of prior rights with a view to obtaining letters of consent and coexistence agreements. They use every reasonable means at their disposal to achieve clearance for your trade mark.
Novagraaf's trade mark team will guide you through the process of registration, giving you all the advice you need along the way and help you to enforce your rights against potential infringers.
Manage and monitor your trade marks
Engage Novagraaf to manage and monitor your trade mark assets - whether a single mark or a complex trade mark portfolio - and you can relax in the knowledge that we can maintain a constant watch for newly filed similar marks.
When an actual or potential trade mark infringement is identified our trade mark attorneys will automatically alert you and advise on what action to take.
Our trade mark team has a wealth of reassuring experience representing clients before their national trade marks registries and the OHIM (Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market), the European Community's trade mark authority, as well as dealing with international trade mark applications under the Madrid Protocol.
When to involve us - and where
When? The sooner the better. Given early involvement in the creative process, we can plan ahead and devise the best possible intellectual property registration and management strategy - early involvement is particularly important if the strategy needs to embrace a number of different countries. Not least - the earlier you consult with us, the sooner you can launch your trade marked products or services safe in the knowledge that they are fully protected.
