A trademark is a sign used to distinguish the products and services of different parties, taking the form of logos, slogans, image layout, colors, or sounds. Trademarks play an important role in corporate identity.
How we can help:
Trademark lookup (or trademark search):
Prior to filing an application, PLF will help Clients to search the national trademark database to see if any trademark has already been registered or applied. After the search, we will issue a detailed report containing our opinion on the feasibility of the registration.
Trademark registration (or logo registration):
PLF will draft and submit applications for trademark registration in Vietnam, international registration via the Madrid system or direct submission in selected countries.
Extend registration:
PLF will help Clients to maintain the trademark registration and keep the certificates valid. We will assist you in filing applications to extend the period of protection before the expiration date.
Trademark management:
PLF will advise you on the effective and systematic identification and management of intellectual property rights for trademarks.
Trademark assignment:
PLF will provide advice on strategies and approach plans and implement the related procedures for transferring trademark ownership or changing the name stated on the certificates.
Trademark enforcement:
PLF will draft a cease and desist (or demand) letter or email requesting the offending parties to cease their infringement. In cases where the Clients are the receiving parties, we will assist them in verifying and analyzing the arguments as well as drafting the response letter. Trademark enforcement also includes drafting letters to be sent to state agencies in charge of trademark management;
