La Cartographie de la Marque (Trademark Mapping)

New service · Trademark Mapping

Is your trademark protected where your business actually operates?

Trademark Mapping lets you see your rights at a glance, identify any gaps between your legal protection and your commercial ambitions, and prepare decisions that match your strategic priorities.

A trademark is often made up of several registrations, filed at different dates, in different countries and classes. Trademark Mapping brings them together in a single report, so you can see at a glance where the trademark is protected, for what, and until when.

What makes the difference

Two areas of expertise

The value of a trademark map lies not only in its graphic presentation, but in the professional interpretation behind it. Philippe Rodhain, French and European Trademark and Design Attorney, combines IP expertise with a strategic questioning method: your rights are read in the light of your ambitions, to inform your decisions.
