The region for which protection is sought determines the handling. If the trademark owner is predominantly interested in offering the goods and services in Germany, we will file the trademark application at the Deutschen Patent- und Markenamt (DPMA) in Munich. If the area in which trademark protection is sought is larger and comprised of other European countries, the application at the Office of Harmonization for the Internal Market (OHIM) in Alicante is advisable. Even though the fees are higher and the time expenditure is higher, protection for all European countries is available.
Of course, most other countries in the world have their own trademark agencies. There, you can apply for trademark protection as well, but you will need a local representative from this country. Another possibility is the application for an international trademark through WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization). This is the trademark registration under the Madrid Agreement and Madrid Protocol and grants protection in many countries by filing a single trademark registration request, based on a single application or registration in one of the member states.
In the course of the trademark application, we develop a concise trademark strategy and offer various service packages. As such, we offer research, evaluation of risk and registration services.
Upon successful registration of your trademark, the law grants you widespread rights to ensure the monopoly of your mark/ to prevent the unauthorized use of that trademark. You may now file suit against others who may use a similar mark for similar product or services.
