Trademarks

Every phase of an intellectual property right’s life cycle involves multiple agreements . We guide you through it, with precision on the most suitable contract types and deal structures to align with your commercial and/or corporate vision.

At Gevers we offer a comprehensive strategy for your trademark protection. We integrate trademarks into a global IP strategy to meet all your needs.

With a 360-degree IP approach, we transform your intellectual assets and trademark registrations into enduring competitive advantages. Our experts are proactive, goal oriented, and strive for long-lasting outcomes rather than temporary fixes. They go the extra mile for your peace of mind.

Safeguarding your trademarks (and other IP) is a collaborative effort. Our team of experts supports you by teaching you everything you want or need to know about trademarks – from searching to watching and protecting them.

Our training programs are flexible, tailored to your specific requirements and audiences. We offer lectures ,workshops and hands-on training for management, marketing specialists, and business developers, ensuring practical and immediately usable knowledge.

When your rights are infringed or you are accused of infringing, we stand by you. We aim to resolve disputes quickly, amicably, and cost-effectively, but we are prepared to do whatever it takes to defend your rights.

Trademarks can last forever if properly maintained. To keep your trademark(s) legally protected all this time, you have to register them in local or regional trademark registers, a process we manage for you. We start by paying attention to the first filing date, setting the start of a monopoly and providing a worldwide priority right during six months.

As long as your trademark is in use, it can be renewed indefinitely. We handle all necessary administrative steps and procedures to register and protect all your trademark rights. From day-to-day management to trademark renewals: we’ve got you covered.

We don’t simply protect your trademarks, we become your strategic partner, defining and implementing your brand creation strategy and managing your IP portfolio.

We further empower you with:

• Filling and renewal strategy
• Cost-effective approach
• Audit before renewals to optimize your strategy

To stay on top of your trademarks, our watch services are indispensable. Monitoring trademark registers is crucial as most European registers do not notify owners of prior rights when a third party tries to file a similar or identical trademark.

Using the latest generation of watch software, our watch services are top-notch across all available countries. We advise you in the right strategy to adopt, allowing early contact with third parties to minimize potential conflicts and costs. Early detection helps in finding alternative solutions quickly

Our approach helps us to quickly identify the intentions of other parties and react promptly to avoid deterioration or expiration of rights.

We further empower you with:

• Clear reports with risk levels
• Customized selection

Before filing any sign as a trademark, we start with conducting an availability search through our specialized databases. That way, we may detect obstruction risks from prior rights for similar or identical signs. So, you won’t have to put time or money into signs that are already protected. Our experts evaluate all possible risks and will support you with the most suiting advice.

Our main aim is to find the best solution for possible issues coming out of our searches. That is why we use simple risk level categories, allowing an easy understanding of all possible risks. Our search reports, including clear advice, an executive summary and list of all risk levels, are made user-friendly to be accessible for all levels of your organization.

We further empower you with:

• In-depth investigations on the availability
• Clear reports with risk levels
• Review of use requirements
• Advice on mitigation of risks
