Services

Trademark, patent and design services under one roof, carried out with specialist partners around the world. Use one service or several.

One team, local specialists everywhere.

Protection for a name, an invention or a design is granted country by country. We plan the whole picture from one place and carry out the work with specialist partners in the countries concerned. They know the local office, the local language and the local deadlines. We stay your single point of contact.

Whether you need one search or filings in many countries, you describe what you want and we propose the route, with a written quote before anything starts.

Trademark

A trademark is the name, logo or slogan that tells customers who stands behind a product. We help you choose one, check that it is free, register it in the countries you need, watch the registers, renew it and, when someone challenges or copies it, deal with that too.

Clearance Search

A look through the registers for marks that are identical or similar to yours, with our written assessment. Best done before you commit to a name.

Trademark Registration

Preparing and filing your application in the country you choose, and following it through examination to registration.

Use Search

Checking whether a mark is really in use on the market, by whom and how, before you rely on it or challenge it.

Trademark Valuation

An estimate of what a mark is worth, for a sale, a licence, a loan or your own planning.

Trademark Monitoring

Ongoing watch over new applications in the countries you choose, with a short note on anything that looks close to your mark.

Brand Naming

Help choosing a name that can be registered and used in the countries that matter to you.

Opposition

Opposing a published application that conflicts with your mark, or defending your own application against an opposition.

Trademark Infringement Analysis

Assessing whether another mark infringes yours, or yours someone else's, and what your options are.

Filing Strategy Session

A working session before you file: which countries, which route, which classes and in what order. You leave with a written plan and a quote.

International (Madrid) Registration

Using the Madrid System to extend a home-country filing to other member countries through one application.

Trademark Renewal

Tracking renewal dates and filing renewals so that a registration you rely on does not lapse.

Declaration of Use

Declarations that a mark is in use, such as the US Section 8 declaration, filed within the time the office allows.

Patent

A patent protects a technical invention for a limited time. We search before you file, prepare the drawings, file the application in the countries you choose, watch what others publish and help you value what you hold. The technical drafting is done by patent specialists who work in the country concerned.

Patent Registration

Preparing and filing a patent application in the countries you choose, and following it until the office decides.

Patent Valuation

An estimate of the value of a patent or a group of patents, for a sale, a licence, an investment or your own planning.

Patent Monitoring

Watching new patent publications and legal status changes that touch your field or your own patents.

Patent Search

Searching patent databases and technical literature for existing inventions, before you file or launch.

Comparing a product or process with the claims of a patent, in either direction.

Patent Drawing

Technical drawings for patent applications, prepared to the formal rules of the office where you file.

Design

A registered design protects the way a product looks: its shape, lines, colours or surface. We search the registers before you file, register the design, watch for look-alikes and assess possible infringements.

Design Search

Looking for earlier designs that could stand in the way of yours.

Design Registration

Registering the appearance of a product, such as its shape, lines or ornament, as a design.

Special Services

Some needs do not fit one box. Here you find portfolio management in atlas, recording your rights with customs against counterfeits, recognition of well-known marks, geographical indications, employee inventions and copyright registration.

Portfolio Management – atlas

Portfolio management for your trademarks, designs and patents.

Customs Protection

Recording your rights with customs authorities so that suspected counterfeit goods can be stopped at the border.

Well-Known Trademark

Asking for recognition of a mark as well known, so that it is protected beyond the goods it is registered for.

Geographical Indications

Protecting the name of a product that owes its qualities to the place it comes from.

Employee Inventions Consulting

Helping companies handle inventions made by employees: notification, ownership and reward under local rules.

Copyright Registration

Recording a creative work with the copyright office of a country that keeps a register, where that helps you.

Not sure which one you need?

Most people start with a search and then a registration. If you are filing in more than one country, a strategy session comes first. If you already own a mark, look at Keep: monitoring, renewal and declarations of use. If an office or another party has challenged you, look at Resolve. If you are unsure, write to us and we will point you to the right one.
