Searches and Monitoring
In the lead up to the business use of a name,
to a trademark application, a domain registration or the founding
of a company, an investigation after any already-existing
trademark rights (national, and if appropriate international)
is indispensable. Registered and filed trademarks, design-trademarks
and logos, company names registered in commercial registers,
business names, protected titles, domain names and the names
of people can stand in the way of new names, depending on
the situation. At the same time, the use of a name which is
already protected by trademark law represents a considerable
cost risk: high legal costs of 50,000 Euro, and often much
more, means that a mistake in the selection of a name is a
hazard of vital importance.
In order to avoid this risk, and to make good
use of the possibility of building up solid immaterial assets,
we offer you a wide offer of professional investigation services.
Your investigation results will be delivered to you along
with our legal opinion, which can supply concrete answers
to the following two central questions:
- Does your name infringe the rights of others?
- Are your own rights being infringed by a third party?
