Registration procedures

A trademark is a sign that forms a point of recognition for your (potential) customer. For example, when the customer reads a certain name, sees a logo or hears a jingle, he will trust that he is dealing with your company.

Day in, day out you work to create a positive association with these signs. You want the signs you use to evoke the values of your company: reliability, expertise, quality, … You want to prevent others from benefiting from your effort and damaging your reputation.

Registering a sign as a trademark gives you a monopoly to use that sign in your sector. As recognized European Trademark and Design Attorneys, we assist you in the registration procedure. We offer various options, depending on which region you want to protect your trademark in.

A design protects the appearance of a product or a part of it. A design registration protects for instance the appearance of a pair of glasses, a table, a wine bottle… against counterfeit.

As registered European Trademark and Design Attorneys, we are your partner for design registration procedures.

Copyright arises when an original work of the mind is created. A mere idea doesn’t suffice, you need to have made a drawing, song, text, etc. Is this the case? Congratulations, you have become the owner of the copyright without having to go through any registration procedure.

Of course, if someone violates your rights, it will be difficult to prove that you were the first creator.

To provide this proof, it is recommended that you regularly include your work in a so-called i-depot. This gives you proof that you had already created the work on date x.
