What can be protected by a trademark?
You can protect the signs that make up your brand with a trademark, almost indefinitely. The condition is that the customer is able to recognize your brand on the basis of such sign and not confuse it with another brand. A trademark does not protect signs that are deceptive, contrary to good morals, or, for example, signs resembling religious or state symbols.
Brand protection in the world
National, regional or international protection can be obtained in different ways. Each of them or a combination of them are more or less advantageous. It depends on how you plan to expand your brand. We can help you make the right choice.
How to monitor if someone is trying to obtain a similar trademark?
Monitoring primarily involves regularly checking trademark databases and registers and searching for new potentially conflicting applications.
The main goal is to prevent the registration of a conflicting trademark, so monitoring should be done frequently enough to allow sufficient time to respond to any potential conflicts. The outputs of monitoring depend on the monitored designation, territory, and list of products and services.

Types of trademarks
Sometimes it is not enough to protect just the name and the logo. You can also protect the specific colour of your products and services to ensure uniqueness. Or an animation, a repeating pattern or placement of a certain element on a product.
How to save on quality protection
Investments in industrial rights are supported at national and EU level. For Czech and EU designs, you can benefit from EUIPO grants, which save you about 75% on the official application fees. For protection in the US, it is preferable to take advantage of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Innovation Vouchers Call, which can save you 75% on the total cost of patent attorney services.
As patent attorneys, we are legally bound to confidentiality.
All your data is safe with us.
