Practical focus
The trade mark as a business asset
The choice, registration and use of a mark are connected with the product, the market and relations with other rights holders. Licences, transfers and protection in a dispute are considered in the context of the client's overall activity.
The services we provide may include:
- Trade mark searches and advice on registration
- Filing and monitoring applications for Bulgarian, EU and international trade marks
- Recording licences and transfers
- Registration and protection of domain names
- Copyright protection
- Representation and negotiation with collective copyright management organisations
- Drafting of contracts for the film industry
- Representation in proceedings
- Representation before the Commission for Protection of Competition
Scope of protection and use
The sign, the goods and services, the territories of interest and the available earlier rights are clarified. In a dispute, the registrations, contracts and evidence of use of the mark are reviewed.
