A trade mark does more than distinguish one business from another. It carries the reputation built around the products and services it identifies. Our team secures protection across markets, advising on the marks to be filed, the coverage required and the filing route best suited to the way each brand is used and developed.
Our trade mark attorneys file and prosecute applications before OSIM and EUIPO, handling office correspondence through to registration. We draft specifications that reflect the client’s business and remain workable as product ranges change. For portfolios covering several territories, we coordinate filing dates, priority claims and applicant details so that the registrations fit together properly.
If an office raises an objection, we prepare the legal argument and supporting evidence, advise on any amendment that may resolve the issue and appeal the decision where there are proper grounds to do so.
We manage international trade mark registrations before WIPO under the Madrid System, including applications based on Romanian or European Union rights and later designations of additional territories.
Once an international registration is in place, we handle subsequent designations, renewals, limitations and changes affecting the holder or the mark. We monitor its relationship with the basic right during the dependency period and advise on replacement or transformation where necessary. Every instruction is considered both centrally and by reference to its effect in the territories concerned.
