The basis of many chains is the uniform use of brands and other expressions such as slogans. Recognizability is paramount. The use of those trademarks etc. (together also referred to as intellectual property rights) is paid for. We work together with various trademark attorneys for the proper registration of trademark rights in the Benelux and beyond.
Trademark infringement
Trademark owners are regularly confronted with infringements, the quality of which is sometimes so poor that safety risks arise. Infringements must therefore be dealt with. The deadlines for action are often short and the stakes are high.
Evidence gathering is important and we can assist in this as well. Tackling infringements of IP-rights usually involves summary proceedings that may involve confiscation.
Important here is that in intellectual property cases it may be possible to recover the actual costs incurred (including those of the lawyer!).
