Our advice

Before filing, carefully define, if possible with the help of an intellectual property professional, the version of the trademark to be protected, the products and services to be targeted, and the territories in which protection is to be sought. This will enable you to choose the filing method best suited to your project, and to avoid certain pitfalls (e.g. by adapting the list of products right from the first filing, in order to bypass troublesome prior rights, or to comply with the requirements of the offices in the territories concerned, etc.).
