Frequently asked questions
Any questions?
Why run a viability search before registering a trademark?
Because it shows whether an identical or similar mark already exists that could cause objections or oppositions. Finding out beforehand saves time and money on a risky filing.
What happens if someone opposes my trademark registration?
A technical response is filed within the deadlines of the procedure. A good prior analysis reduces the chances of this happening and strengthens your defense if it does.
How long does it take and how much does it cost to register a trademark?
It depends on the type of sign, the classes in which it is registered, and whether there are objections or oppositions. At the first consultation you receive an estimate based on your case.
Can I protect my trademark if I am not selling anything yet?
Yes. In fact, it is best to register before launching the business, so you do not invest in a name you may later be unable to use.
What is an expert report in intellectual property?
It is a technical report filed in judicial or administrative proceedings to explain and assess aspects of trademarks, patents or copyright. Dr. Melania is accredited as an expert in this field by the Judiciary Council of Ecuador.
