European Trademark Search
For over a hundred years, and particularly in recent decades, the business world and society as a whole has been surrounded by the concept of brands and trademarks. There is a feeling of trust that comes with possessing brand awareness, and expectance of quality and therefore a responsibility, which in turn gets rewarded so long as you fulfil this criteria. Having a trademark and a brand name can then generate an important advantage in an ever increasingly competitive market.
With this in mind you can see how important it is to make sure, as a business or a company, that you create a solid and reputable trademark. This needs to be built on the foundation of a sound legal framework, meaning an understanding of IP law in Europe is required.
Now I don’t expect many people have an extensive knowledge of Intellectual Property legislation, and to be honest it’s not what you would call a topic for thrill seekers by any stretch of the imagination, but it is vital nonetheless.
Thankfully however there are a number of professional Intellectual Property law firms set up to help companies address such issues, none rated much higher than the London based firm Withers & Rogers. The firm are ranked amongst the top ten firms for UK and European trade mark filings, and currently represent large multi-national companies as well as medium sized and smaller ones too.
