Trademark Strategy and Application Support
Trademark acquisition is pivotal for business expansion, but it's not solely about securing rights. Our approach encompasses a strategic trademark strategy that considers medium-term plans and competitive trends. We enrich this strategy by integrating economic and digital insights with trademark rights information, thereby significantly boosting the effectiveness of your trademark practices.
Search
When launching a new company or introducing new products and services, it is crucial to conduct a preliminary trademark search to ensure that the trademarks have not been previously registered by another party. Utilizing a trademark that is already registered can result in liability for damages. These searches help identify potential competitors and can also prompt a reassessment of business strategies. We offer comprehensive support for trademark searches across global regions and countries.
