TRADEMARK LAW AND OTHER DISTINCTIVE SIGNS
THESE ARE THE SIGNS, NAMES AND/OR GRAPHICS THAT DISTINGUISH A PRODUCT OR SERVICE FROM OTHERS
Identifying and distinguishing oneself are human aspirations as old as human existence itself. Distinctive signs fulfil these and other functions, because in addition to identifying the business origin of our products or services and distinguishing them from identical or similar products or services offered by others, they bring together all the values that a product or service is capable of offering. But we must not only think about trademarks. Trade names, stage names, designations of origin, etc., are signs through which people and things make themselves known to others.
At our firm, we advise on the configuration that the name presented to us should take, we protect it in the most appropriate way by adapting its purpose to the most appropriate type of sign, registering it in any country in the world, and we explain how to use this valuable commercial asset. Of course, we also protect it against any unwanted aggression.
