Abcor specializes in applying for trademark and design rights. We do this worldwide for both SMEs and international companies, but often everything starts with an initial Benelux application. Our aim is to relieve the client of all the worries, which is why we take care of all the steps, from initial advice on what to apply for and how, right through to registration.
In addition to applying for trademarks, we also manage portfolios for our clients. We ensure that trademarks are renewed on time, that the right organizations are paid (given the many fraudulent companies), and we support our clients on issues.
In addition, we are sparring partners for our customers on new products and how to shape and claim new ideas.
Trademark registration?
When launching a new company or product, an awful lot of money is spent on getting the company/product to market. The last thing you want are problems. Can the name be used? First check the availability (both online and offline) and then register the name.
Our lawyers take this work off your hands. Based on their legal background, they can indicate on the basis of a thorough trademark search whether a trademark is available or whether problems are to be expected with possible older trademark owners. In addition, they are specialists in translating the core business into a correct trademark claim. A claim you can fall back on as a company, especially if you have to prove the legal use of a trademark after 5 years.
