Watching and Renewal of Your Rights
Registering a trademark, patent, industrial design or any other industrial property right is only the first step. To keep that protection you need to control renewal deadlines and watch for third-party rights that could affect your interests. Active management prevents the loss of rights and lets you act before conflicts arise. Our trademark watching service detects new conflicting applications before they become a problem. If we detect a conflict, our legal department can start the relevant opposition or defence.
All industrial property rights have a limited duration and require periodic renewals to remain in force. Also, industrial property offices do not automatically refuse every similar registration, so it is essential to have a watching system that detects potentially conflicting new applications. Acting in time lets you file oppositions, defend your rights and preserve the value of your assets.
Process for Watching and Renewing Your Rights
A clear and transparent procedure to watch and renew your rights.
Analysis of Your Rights
We review your portfolio and identify the rights that require defence or renewal.
Continuous Trademark Watching
We monitor new applications to detect possible conflicts with your rights.
Control of Expiry Dates and Deadlines
We supervise deadlines and warn you well in advance of upcoming renewals.
Renewal and Maintenance of Your Rights
We handle the renewals needed to keep your rights in force and protected.
Failing to renew on time, or discovering too late that a third party has applied for a similar trademark, can mean losing your rights, being forced to stop using your trademark or even having to assign it. Once certain deadlines have passed, recovering or defending those rights may be impossible or far more costly. At PREMARK we centrally control the watching and renewal of your assets, anticipating expiry dates and potential conflicts. We detect, warn and act in time to keep your rights protected.
