Lawyer trademark research
Trademark law services
The right start for a new brand.
Before registering a trademark – and, of course, before using it – it is advisable to conduct a trademark similarity search and have it professionally evaluated. This can prevent the planned brand appearance or new company name from infringing older rights and, in the worst case, causing costly legal disputes. For our clients, we research and analyze whether there are already older registered trademarks that are either identical or confusingly similar. These can make it difficult or even impossible for a company to use and register the trademark, for example, by leading to a cease and desist letter or opposition proceedings. We help our clients find solutions that involve a business-like level of risk.
Check trademark rights
There are various situations in which a company might want to have existing trademark rights reviewed. For example, when a client wants to better understand and assess their trademark environment. If we discover trademark risks, we will find solutions to mitigate them.
Of course, we not only consider the brand environment, but also analyze our own brands and their scope of protection. For example, we examine whether they are being used in a way that preserves their rights and what steps would be necessary to optimize trademark protection.
Check company name
Before our clients decide to give their new company a specific name or change it, we recommend conducting a preliminary search for prior rights. Not only the use of a trademark, but also the use of a company name can infringe existing name and trademark rights.
International trademark search
Our firm cooperates with a global network of experienced trademark attorneys. Since trademark searches abroad are often conducted and evaluated according to different criteria, we work with local trademark attorneys, particularly for searches outside the EU.
