Case Study
- A businesswoman wanted to protect her trademark for a new product in the EU. Without prior research, there would have been a conflict with an existing trademark. Thanks to a comprehensive trademark search, an alternative name was chosen, thereby avoiding costly proceedings before the EUIPO and cease-and-desist letters.
