A company may use a trade name to distinguish itself from other similar enterprises. In contrary to trademarks and service marks, the trade names differentiate one enterprise from others quite independently of the goods or services that the enterprise markets or renders.

Our specific areas of practice:

➢ Searches, advice as to the registration requirements and preparing reports
➢ Preparation, prosecution of trademark filings and preparing reports
➢ Maintenance of registration and renewals
➢ Preparation, prosecution of assignment applications and preparing reports
➢ Information on eventual opposition of third parties in trademark filing and preparing reports regarding the same
➢ Representing clients in opposition, refusal and other disputes relating to infringements and preparing reports regarding the same
➢ Drafting, counseling, negotiation and litigation

Trade names have common characteristics with trademark and service mark that they all represent a distinguishing function.
