Trademarks

prawo pracy jako specjalizacja w Kancelarii KRS Katowice

We assist our clients in protecting their own brands, trademarks (word marks, logos, as well as word-image marks), from unauthorized use by individuals and entities. Registering a trademark protects entrepreneurs from unfair competition and attempts to take over the brand.

Every entrepreneur knows how much effort and money it takes to build a brand – regardless of whether they offer goods or services to their customers. If we want to protect ourselves from the use of a created brand, it is worth considering its protection through registration with the Patent Office.

For our clients, we conduct verification of the possibility of registering a trademark. We examine whether similar trademarks have not already been registered by another authorized person, and we also provide information about the possibility of registering a particular mark as a trademark in the form indicated by the client.

After conducting preliminary verification of the trademark, we advise clients on what form of protection to choose, then we submit the application on their behalf and oversee the proceedings until the trademark certificate is obtained.

After our clients receive the trademark certificate, we, in cooperation with IT specialists, monitor the unauthorized use of the brand by entities not entitled to it.

The benefits of obtaining trademark protection (registering a trademark) include:

  • Protection against the use of the brand on the Internet – the possibility of blocking and removing content containing information infringing on trademark rights, the ability to use private brand protection programs run by major sales platforms such as Amazon or Allegro.
  • Officially confirmed legal protection for at least 10 years facilitating the enforcement of claims against entities infringing on trademark rights.
  • The right to claim damages for trademark infringement and the possibility of earning income through licensing.
  • The possibility of creating and developing a franchise network.
  • Securing the rights of future heirs – the right to a trademark is a material asset and is inheritable.
  • We secure our clients’ trademarks by advising them on the options for protection.
  • We conduct interviews and identify areas of the economy (market) where it is worth securing a trademark.
  • We guide the client through the selection process in the Nice Classification.
  • We conduct an audit to ensure that the registration of the trademark will not conflict with an already registered mark, and if there are any doubts in this regard, we help resolve them.
  • We provide thorough information about the chances of registration and brand protection to avoid loss of official fees.
  • The entire registration procedure on behalf of our clients is conducted by a lawyer with the appropriate experience in trademark protection.
