Between competitors, competition law protects distinctive signs and names introduced and used by companies engaged in fair business practices. However, enforcement is more complicated than if the company had registered trademarks and/or designs.

It may also happen that someone else wants to obtain trademark protection for the packaging, logo or sign that your company has already introduced to the market and used. Did you know that, based on prior use, you can oppose the registration of a trademark, or if you have missed that opportunity, you can apply for the invalidation of a trademark that has already been registered?

Our office can assist in such cases by providing advice and initiating the necessary court or trademark proceedings.
