Trademark Registration in the EU and USA During Business Scaling
When a business expands internationally, its intellectual property requires robust protection. We provide legal support that allows the client to focus on brand development without worrying about the security of their assets.
The client's problem
When entering EU and US markets, Ukrainian companies often encounter significant risks in trademark registration due to market saturation and the presence of similar or identical marks. For our clients, it was crucial to evaluate registration prospects and select designations with the highest potential for successful protection in these new jurisdictions.
Proposed solution
We guided our clients through the preparation phase for trademark registration in the EU and the USA, specifically by conducting clearance searches, analyzing risks of refusal, and providing recommendations on the most secure registration strategy.
In one case, for an Ukrainian pet food manufacturer, we analyzed several designations for entering the EU market, after which the client selected a combined mark for their application. In another instance, an IT company requested the registration of several trademarks in the EU and the USA; we conducted a preliminary search for these as well and prepared reports on the prospects for successful registration.
The result we achieved
As a result of the analysis, the clients were able to select optimal designations and file registration applications while taking the identified risks into account. Some of the applications are already at various stages of the registration process in the EU and the USA, and at this current stage, there are no third-party oppositions or additional queries from the offices regarding the filed applications.
