De Clercq & Partners is delighted to invite you to a webinar on the topic of trademark protection and how genuine use can help you safeguard your registrations.

Genuine use is an important aspect in the life of a trademark. In order to remain validly registered and enforceable, a trademark should be in use within a certain time frame after its registration and continue to be used during its lifetime. Only then can a trademark serve as an effective tool to build brand equity and fend off competitors and counterfeiters.


WHAT TO EXPECT

  • The concept and importance of genuine use according to EU practice

  • Typical evidence accepted to demonstrate genuine use

  • Tips on how to prepare your mark being challenged on the basis of non-use


FOR WHOM

  • IP Professionals

  • Representatives from technology transfer offices

  • Brand and communication managers

  • Investors

  • Trademark holders

  • Entrepreneurs

  • Start-ups

  • Management
