About this service
Whether a mark infringes depends on how alike the signs are, how close the goods or services are, how well known the earlier mark is and the law of the country. Our analysis looks at each of these and at the evidence you have, and it ends with options rather than a verdict.
What is included
- A comparison of the two marks by look, sound and meaning
- A comparison of the goods and services, and of how they are sold
- A review of the registrations and of the evidence of use on each side
- A written analysis with the realistic options: talk, write to the other side, oppose, or do nothing
