Trademarks

Trademarks serve to distinguish the products and services of one company from that of other companies. Trademarks guarantee the origin from a certain source, and they stand for the quality of a company. Trademarks are an intangible asset and they are an exceptionally important marketing instrument.

We provide full advice to our clients with respect to trademarks. We search for existing trademarks of third parties to evaluate existing risks prior to the start of the use of a new trademark. We file German and Community Trademark Applications, and extend protection of national trademarks via International Registrations according to the Madrid System to countries, in which trademarks and marketplaces need to be protected. For obtaining national trademark registrations in foreign countries we rely on an established network of specialized colleagues world-wide. We engage in defending the interests of our clients in opposition and cancellation procedures.

For the enforcement of trademark rights we are a careful and reliable partner. We provide analysis of own trademark rights and their possible infringement by competitors - as well as analysis of foreign trademarks and their consequences for own marketing activities. We provide expert opinions on possible infringements and we represent our clients in close cooperation with local lawyers specialized on trademark infringement procedures before the competent courts.
