Trademark protection and management

A trademark allows your customers to recognise your goods and services. Registration gives you rights in the chosen sign, for the goods or services designated and within the territory concerned.

ASK-IP assists you at every stage: choosing and checking the sign, preparing and filing the application, following the procedure, then managing the trademark over time.

Trademark renewal and management

A trademark registration is granted for a limited period and must be renewed to keep your rights. The firm monitors the deadlines entrusted to it and informs you of the steps to take.

Management also covers changes that may affect your trademark, such as a change in the owner’s name or address, in line with the applicable procedures.

Provisional refusals and disputes

A trademark application may receive a provisional refusal. The firm analyses the grounds raised and advises you on a possible response. In a dispute, it assists you within its competence and, where necessary, with the lawyers and bailiffs it works with.
