Frequently asked questions
Most often a name or logo, or another form of sign if it meets the conditions for protection. Its specific suitability must be assessed according to the sign and the market.
It depends on where you use the brand and where you plan to expand. The scope of protection should be set according to your actual business plan and the territory in which you want to protect the sign.
The classes determine the goods and services for which protection is sought. A scope that is too narrow or incorrectly chosen can reduce the practical value of the registration.
The similarity of the signs, the protected goods and services and other circumstances need to be assessed. Depending on the result, the registration strategy can be adjusted or another solution chosen.
LEXANTE's current service covers registration proceedings at both national and international level. The specific procedure is chosen according to the countries and the client's business strategy.
