Understanding the client, their products and services, their competition, and their potential international market is a fundamental premise that guides Abril Abogados in providing effective trademark advisory services. Our team of trademark-specialized lawyers not only strives to stay up to date with legislative and case law developments in Intellectual and Industrial Property, but also with sector-specific regulations affecting our clients’ daily operations, such as labeling regulations, quality standards, subsidies, tax incentives, or geographical indications, among others. This enables us to gain a deep understanding of our clients’ needs from the outset and anticipate their interests. Personalized attention and responsiveness are key elements of our service. Close collaboration with our clients fosters better communication and the alignment of synergies to achieve shared objectives.
Trademark advisory lawyers
Abril Abogados offers legal advisory and trademark protection in Spain (OEPM), Europe (EUIPO), and internationally (WIPO and other jurisdictions).
We have an extensive network of professional firms and associated offices in more than 150 countries, all with proven experience and legal capacity to ensure the highest quality standards, both in pre-filing advisory and registration procedures, as well as in handling legal disputes abroad.
All of this requires a carefully designed and well-informed trademark strategy, based on comprehensive information provided by the client to support sound decision-making. Accordingly, prior to filing a trademark application, we conduct clearance searches to assess the registrability of the selected mark.
Where there is a large portfolio of distinctive signs, we carry out trademark portfolio audits to define the most appropriate strategy aligned with the client’s needs.
A key factor in industrial property is reputation. We therefore prepare reputation dossiers for well-known companies in their sector, with the aim of maximizing the protection of their trademarks.
With regard to prior searches, we collaborate with advertising agencies to provide the necessary clearance searches for naming services.
