Corporate Registrations

Did you know that in most countries, anyone can register a company with a name that is trademarked or close to it?

If you, as a trademark holder, don’t complain and protect your trademark, it's actually open for use by anyone.

This is why it's important to always run checks on company registrations to ensure there is no registration that infringes on the trademark holder's right. Cohen Klein's Trademark Protection, of course, includes regular searches of company registrations so that we can raise a warning at an early stage.

While most protect their trademarks in the country where they have a trademark registered, there could be advantages to also tracking trademark infringements in other jurisdictions as a pre-emptive measure.
