Frequently asked questions
Fewer questions.
Greater clarity.
Brief answers to help you get started. We assess your individual circumstances during a consultation.
Is registering a trademark the same as patenting it?
No. Trademarks distinguish goods or services; patents protect inventions. A business name or brand will usually call for an assessment of trademark registration.
How do I know if I can register my trademark?
The first step is to review prior trademarks and the goods or services you want to distinguish. An initial search helps guide the analysis; assessing an application requires reviewing the particular case.
Does the firm only handle registrations?
No. Our work also includes monitoring, renewals, contracts, advice and rights enforcement. We can support you on a specific matter or on an ongoing basis.
Can I enquire about a trademark I have already registered?
Yes. We can review its status, the scope of its protection and your company’s current needs.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
This depends on the service, scope and circumstances. Following an initial assessment, we define a proposal. Procedural timelines also depend on how the case progresses and the authority involved.
Do you work with international companies?
We support national and international companies. In the initial consultation, we identify the countries involved and the scope of the advice required.
What should I include in my first enquiry?
Tell us about your company’s activity, what you want to protect or resolve, and any relevant dates. This helps us guide the initial discussion.
