Before investing in packaging, advertising or expansion, consider the sign to be protected, its intended owner and the activities for which it will be used. Signaria IP reviews these elements to shape an application around your project.
The analysis starts before filing.
An identical-mark search is a starting point. A review should also consider relevant similarities and the goods or services involved. Finding no identical result does not amount to permission to register or use a sign.
For example, a coffee shop serving drinks and also selling packaged coffee needs to describe both activities accurately. Scope should reflect the actual business rather than a random list of classes.
What the engagement can include.
- Clearance searches and risk assessment for a name or logo.
- Review of ownership, representation and the sign to be filed.
- Identification and classification of goods and services.
- Preparation and filing of the application before IMPI.
- Monitoring and responses to office communications within the agreed scope.
A clear proposal for each stage.
We first review the general information. We then define the recommended assessment and work, with a proposal separating professional fees from official charges. An opposition, office action or dispute may require work beyond the initial filing.
The assessment may support filing the sign, adjusting the strategy or considering an alternative. IMPI decides whether registration is granted; legal guidance supports informed decisions and management of the procedure.
YOUR STARTING POINT
What to prepare for the assessment.
- Exact name and any available version of the logo.
- Current and planned goods and services.
- Intended individual or company owner and information about use.
- Target countries and any previous applications or disputes.
You can inquire even if you do not yet have all these details.
Tailored professional fees.
Each matter is assessed individually. Before work begins, we provide a fee proposal distinguishing professional fees from applicable official charges and defining the included services.
Questions about this service.
Does a domain or company name protect my trademark?
They serve different purposes. We separately review the business name, digital presence and the sign used for goods or services to identify the protection to seek.
Should I register the name or the logo?
That depends on how the mark is used, which elements matter to the business and the search findings. We can assess both alternatives and their scope before filing.
What does it cost and how long does it take?
The proposal depends on the signs, classes, findings and work required. Timing depends on the procedure and IMPI actions. Fees and scope are defined before work starts, without promising a grant date.
