Trademark

A trademark is a sign such as a name, a logo, a combination of letters and/or numbers, a slogan, a color or a combination of colors, a sound, the shape of a product or its packaging, or any other symbol. This sign is used to distinguish a company’s products or services from those of his competitors.

 

To obtain protection, a trademark should be available and distinctive relative to the goods and services.

We obtain trade mark protection for clients around the world, either directly or with support from our trusted network of associate firms.

Our trademark practice encompasses all facets of brand protection, including:

– conduct availability searches for your mark in different jurisdictions
