About Trademark registration

Trademark registration

Companies invest significantly to position themselves in the market. A company’s name, logo, and product trademarks are all important identifiers for consumers—signs that distinguish one company from another. However, a trademark is more than just a distinguishing mark; it symbolizes the goodwill a company has built and represents significant financial value. Therefore, it is crucial to protect your goodwill.

In most countries, trademark rights are not acquired merely by using a sign but only through registration. Registering a domain name or a trademark alone does not grant rights—only the registration of a sign as a trademark confers these rights.

For a successful expansion of activities, it is not only wise but essential to seek protection for the most important signs. This includes not only names but also logos, slogans, distinctive packaging, product shapes, colors, scents, videos, and any other identifiers a company may use to establish its market presence. Trademark registration is necessary to enforce rights in cases of infringement or to claim priority over new domain names.

If you wish to register your trademark in the European Union, please contact us at info@abcor-ip.com.
