We have prepared a summary of the trademark filing procedure here.
In concrete terms, we explain to you what the protection of a trademark is and how it works on a practical level.
The mark is an industrial asset that is part of a company’s own identity. It allows you to be identifiable with your customers and various audiences.
Registering a trademark ensures exclusive use of the services and products designated in the chosen territory for 10 years, renewable indefinitely.
Conversely, failing to protect your mark leads to the possibility of its use by competitors. For this reason, it is essential to protect its assets once the mark and its environment (name, expression, sign, logo) are defined.
Registering a trademark can be a complex and tedious process. This is why, at AQUINOV, we advise you in the implementation of your strategy in order to find the most suitable protection framework for your project.
