We are pleased to announce that we have successfully assisted our client, an international retail brand based in the UK, in registering its trade mark in several countries around the world under the Marid Agreement and Protocol.

As an international online fashion retailer on the course of business expansion, our client quickly recognised the need to have their trade mark protected in different countries. Especially after our client was made aware of several trade mark applications which would potentially infringe our client’s trade mark. We also successfully assisted our client in opposing similar trade mark applications.

Before filing the trade mark registration, we advised our client on certain requirements of a valid trade mark application, goods and service classification, and the procedure to register trade mark in the UK as well as across the world.

After assessing our client’s trade mark and their nature of business, we advised our client to register their trade mark in designated countries through the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) by using the Marid Agreement and Protocol. This is known as the most efficient way to register a trade mark in the countries that are the members of the Marid Agreement.

We then successfully registered our client’s trade mark in several countries including the United Kingdom, Australia, Benelux, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Poland and Spain.
