Special Services

Problems often arise in the context of brand research that the customer was not aware of before. If it turns out that your trademark is not registrable in this form or you violate the rights of older trademarks, we will be happy to advise you on how to proceed.

Knowing that you are infringing the rights of an older trademark is important because only with this knowledge can you plan the steps that will help avoid the infringement. The owner of the earlier trademark is then often not even aware that there has been an infringement or steps can be taken to prevent claims for damages or injunctive relief from being enforced.

Some customers also use a variety of brands and logos. We can help you to use the brands and logos on the right safely so that the brand is actually used.

We can also help you with questions about trademark infringements or questions about how you should proceed against third parties who need your brand Miss. Paragraph Please contact us about these topics.

An important tool to understand that your brand is being abused are the different brands of trekkings that we offer. We are also able to determine the usufruct of your brand through special hey searches on the Internet.

In addition to these branded treks, we also offer you to submit your brand for registration and protection to companies such as Google YouTube Amazon Instagram Twitter and others. We try to ensure that your brand cannot be misused on these social media or Handelsblatt forms. We also monitor these platforms and inform you if your brand is abused there and of course help you with advice and action.

Frequently asked questions

What is a trademark?

A trademark can be a sign of all kinds, in particular words, including personal names, or images, letters, numbers, colors, the shape or packaging of the goods or sounds, insofar as such signs are capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one company from those of other companies and to be presented clearly and unambiguously.

Why is it important to trademark your brand?

A trademark application or an entry in the official EUIPO trademark register can increase the value of your brand and the company. A registered trademark offers protection and reputation because the registration of the trademark grants its owner an exclusive right of use. Third parties can be prohibited from using the brand.

How much to register a trademark?

In the best case, the pure official fees are 850 euros, in the most expensive 1800 euros. A nice class is always included, a second class costs 50 euros and each further then 150 euros in pure official fees. Litigation can result in significantly higher costs if, for example, a mark in a Nice class has not been used for more than 5 years.

How long will be the EU trademark protected?

The protection of the EU trademark lasts 10 years from the registration date and can be extended for 10 years at a time.

What are the types of trademarks that can be protected?

The most common is the wordmark and figurative mark (logo or design). A wordmark consists exclusively of words or letters, numbers, other typographic symbols. Figurative marks (logos or designs) are marks in which non-standardized characters, stylizations, or layouts, or colors are used.
