Support during the trademark registration procedure

The trademark registration procedure is a necessary process to legally secure the rights to a mark used by businesses to build their brand and product identity, to recognize them by associating them with a certain element (word, phrase, sentence, image, short video, etc.) and to protect them effectively.

Contrary to the belief of many, you can register a trademark for the name of your product (e.g., a website or mobile application), your product logo (e.g., “bitten apple”), and your marketing or corporate slogan (e.g., “I love it”).
