Trade Marks

Something you should know: business name or company registrations do not provide the same protection, rights or value for your brand as a trade mark does. 

What is a trade mark?  A right you can register that prevents your competitors from using the same or similar branding for the same or similar types of goods or services that you offer.  It is not expensive and if you don’t register a trade mark it’s a much more costly, time-consuming and risky process to protect your business in a dispute.  You can find out more about trade marks and your business here.

Trade marks add value and can be one of the most valuable assets your business owns, helping you to attract investment or negotiate its sale.

As Irish and European Trade Mark Attorneys, we can help protect and exploit the value of your brand by registering the right trade marks for the markets your business is interested in.  Our clearance searches can help you select a trade mark capable of distinguishing your goods and services from your competitors or can eliminate a costly re-branding exercise. 

We offer sound, commercially driven advice on names, logos and the classes of goods and services which offer the right protection for your brand - from preliminary searches through the application and registration process and in any opposition or infringement proceedings before the trade marks office or the courts.
