It is checked whether there are no already registered identical/similar earlier marks and suitability for registration is assessed

Owners of earlier trademarks can file a protest against the registration of your mark if it is identical or similar to their trademarks and is protected for the same or similar activities. We search the trademark registers in order to determine whether there are signs that pose a risk and provide you with a report of such trademarks.

If the trademark is not suitable for registration, for example, is descriptive, the Patent Office will reject the trademark application and the money paid for the registration will be lost. We assess and warn in advance if such a risk exists.

We compile an accurate list of goods and services

This is a very important step that requires expert judgment. The exact list of goods and services for which the mark would be registered is particularly important, because if you make mistakes when submitting a trademark registration application, you would no longer be able to add to it, you would have to submit a new application, which would increase costs.

A smooth process of obtaining financial support and submitting an application is taken care of

The European Union Intellectual Property Office reimburses 75% of the trademark or design registration fees. We will make sure that you receive such support as soon as possible, and we also guarantee that we will submit an application for trademark registration to the State Patent Office within one working day after we receive all the documents.

We provide answers to the questions of the State Patent Office

After submitting documents for trademark registration, the Patent Office may have various questions, for example, regarding your list of goods or services, image of the trademark, etc. We answer all questions with detailed arguments and explanations so that your mark is successfully registered.

A trademark expert and free legal advice are provided

You can contact a personal trademark expert by e-mail. by mail and by phone on all questions related to the registration of trademarks or designs. This consultant will always be ready to help you.

Not only will you have a personal expert trademark consultant, but you will also have a lawyer who will provide you with a free initial consultation on various intellectual property law issues related to trademarks, designs, copyrights, trade secrets and more. We will also help you solve problems related to intellectual property, for example, in cases where you notice that competitors are copying your brand, using a photo stolen from your website, product description, etc.

Ongoing brand maintenance

We constantly check trademark registries and send notifications if others register marks that are identical or very similar to yours for the same or similar activities. Upon receiving such notification, you will be informed about such trademarks and will be able to continue to monitor the actions of competitors (eg whether they have started using such a trademark). You will also be able to submit a protest, and in this way prevent in advance, new brands that may mislead your customers.

Evaluation of registration possibilities

What is it?

 

We determine whether the sign to be registered meets the provisions of the Law on Trademarks absolute requirements, and whether it can perform the main function of a trademark – to distinguish one manufacturer’s goods and services from another manufacturer.

 

 

Why is this necessary?

 

Our experts assess the suitability of the trademark and the probability of successful registration, conduct a search for previous trademarks, and determine the possible risks of protests and the chances of defending the trademark’s registration in the event of a protest or claims.

 

 

Duration

 

2-3 working days

 

Trademark registration

What is it?

 

We analyze the specific situation and present the most appropriate trademark registration strategy for the strongest and the most cost-effective protection. We promptly perform trademark registration steps and administer the entire trademark registration process.

 

 

Why is this necessary?

 

Trademark registration gives exclusive rights to its commercial use. By using an unregistered trademark, not only can you not prevent others from using it, but you also run the risk that the owner of an identical or similar registered trademark may demand the termination of your trademark. Trademark registration will help you protect yourself from competitors. It does not matter if your business is big or small. There may be some competitors who want to compete in unfair ways: after checking that you have not registered the trademark you are using, they can steal your trademark. In other words, they can register it on their or their related persons’ behalf. Trademark registration helps to successfully protect against copying. There are cases when competitors, instead of creating their own brand, appropriate other people’s ideas and use someone else’s brand. By having a trademark registered, you can successfully protect yourself from such unfair practices.

 

 

Duration

 

~ 6 months

Registration extension

What is it?

 

We monitor the validity periods of trademarks and timely inform about the need to extend their validity, as well as prepare documents for the extension of trademark protection. The exclusive intellectual property rights granted to the trademark owner are protected for 10 years. If the trademark is used further, the term can be extended as much as necessary.

 

 

Why is this necessary?

 

It is necessary to extend the validity of the trademark, because if it is not done in time, it is no longer possible to restore the trademark registration.

 

 

Deadline

 

Registration extension actions must be completed within the last year of the trademark’s validity, and with a surcharge – within 6 months from the expiration of the registration.

Trademark monitoring

What is it?

 

The Patent Office does not carry out trademark examination according to relative requirements, i.e., it is not checked whether the newly registered trademark coincides with or is similar to the previously registered trademark. Often, new identical or confusingly similar trademarks are registered in the same field of activity and thus may violate the exclusive rights of the previous trademark owner. The essence of trademark maintenance / monitoring is to spot an identical or similar trademark to your registered trademark early and delete the later trademark by filing a protest with the Patent Office.

 

 

What maintenance / monitoring do we offer?

 

All newly published trademarks in national and international trademark registries are monitored and compared with supervised trademarks. When a potential conflicting similarity is detected, we notify the trademark owner and discuss further action.

 

More information on trademark monitoring: https://youtu.be/6HtI-Zmz3Pk .

 

 

Why is this necessary?

 

If an identical or similar trademark is detected early, its registration can be canceled by filing a protest with the state Patent Office.

 

Without supervision, conflicting trademarks will be registered and sooner or later they will be put into use. In this case, you may not be able to notice their use in time; you will have already suffered losses due to loss of income; it will be more expensive and more difficult to agree on the termination of the use of these trademarks (preparing and sending claims, preparing and concluding a settlement agreement, and, in certain cases, it will not be possible to reach an amicable agreement, so you will have to go to court).

 

 

Duration

 

Trademark maintenance / monitoring can be carried out throughout the entire validity period of the trademark registration.

 

 

Price

 

120 EUR for one year of Lithuanian trademark registration supervision

 

240 EUR for one year of EU trademark registration supervision

 

Amendments, licenses, transfer of rights

What is it?

 

We perform trademark actions after registration and help dispose of the trademark: to transfer, pledge, or grant licenses for others to use your intellectual property or a part of it considering a certain territory or goods. We register changes to the name or address of the trademark owner in the official registers.

 

 

Why is this necessary?

 

Transferring, pledging, or granting licenses for others to use your intellectual property ensures the possibility of receiving financial benefits.

 

Consulting about funding opportunities

What is it?

 

Small and medium-sized enterprises/start-ups receive support for the protection of intellectual property from the SME Fund. The SME fund “Ideas Powered for Business” is an initiative of the European Commission, implemented by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), with a budget of 16 million euros in 2022. The applications for compensation can be submitted by all small and medium-sized companies established in the EU. One company can claim support of up to 2,250 euros.

 

 

Why is this necessary?

 

The protection of intellectual property should be relevant for these companies that bring their businesses to the internet and engage in online trade. That is because most today’s IP legal violations are encountered in e-marketplaces. Therefore, everyone who is preparing to develop their activities or trade online should hurry to protect their brands. Financial support is a great incentive to take care of their intellectual property as soon as possible. Companies are invited to apply for reimbursement of part of the expenses by recovering up to 75 % trademark filing and registration fees at national, regional and EU level, or 50% may also be reimbursed from trademark taxes outside the EU. Our intellectual property experts can take care of the entire support process. We are constantly looking for ways to reduce your costs for intellectual property protection.

What is a trademark?

A trademark is any sign or combination of signs that helps to distinguish one product or service from another. It can be a word, a drawing, a number, a color, an emblem, a slogan, the shape of a product or packaging, even a sound or movement. Such a chosen brand eventually becomes a hallmark that helps customers to recognise your products or services, distinguishing you from others.

Trademark registration

If the trademark meets all the above requirements, an application for its registration is filed. After an expert examination by the Patent Office and after the opposition period has expired, the trademark is registered and exclusive rights are granted to its owner. The registration of a trademark is valid for 10 years and may be renewed every ten years for the same period as long as the trademark is required and used by the applicant.

What can be a trademark?

In order to prevent others from taking advantage of your intellectual property, we recommend and help you register your trademark. Trademark registration is possible when the trademark meets all the absolute requirements applied to it: it has a distinctive feature; is not generic, descriptive in nature, composed of official symbols of countries or geographical references; does not conflict with public order or morality, is not a language error or foreignness. It is also important to make sure that the trademark meets the relative requirements – whether the rights to this sign do not belong to other persons.

Scope of trademark protection

Trademarks can be protected at the national, European Union or international level. Therefore, before registering a trademark, it is important to consider the markets in which you intend to operate. In the case of export, it is appropriate to protect the trademark in specific foreign countries, even before starting to carry out real activities. This will ensure that your business will be safe as you will already have exclusive rights to use the trademark and will be able to take defensive action in the event of infringement
