Conscientious trademark search

The most important thing in trademark applications is to clarify whether an identical or similar trademark has already been applied for. In this case, your trademark could be cancelled again at the trademark office – even after years.

And this, although you think you have sufficient protection. That would be the “super disaster” for your ongoing business.

Important: Whether other trademark applications already exist is not checked during the application by the trademark offices such as the DPMA, EUIPO or WIPO. You must take care of this yourself in advance and there are approximately 65 million trademark registrations worldwide (as of 2023). Our experts will do this work for you.

The question of whether conflicting trademarks already exist is essential and also the most difficult to assess legally. Therefore, it is best to leave this task to our specialist law firm. We carry out a conscientious preliminary examination for you during the trademark application.

Our remuneration - no all-inclusive prices

Our remuneration should be transparent, fair and appropriate

Based on the information you provide, we will research in advance how time-consuming a legally sound examination for identical or similar trademarks will be. Based on our many years of experience, we can estimate relatively well how much the complete trademark application process, including examination, will cost. It is not unusual for us to sift through hundreds or even thousands of trademark registrations.

You should therefore tell us in advance which trademark you would like to apply for and for which areas (goods and services) You need the trademark protection. We can then view and work through the list of goods and services even more precisely.

In the event that our preliminary work becomes more expensive than average due to your specific trademark request, we reserve the right to charge you an initial consultation fee of up to € 250.00 plus VAT in individual cases. Sales tax to be calculated. We will tell you in advance whether this is necessary in your case.

Concrete offer

After our preliminary search you will receive a concrete offer for your trademark application. We do not think much of the flat rates often found on the web. In our view, these are not serious or lead to unpleasant surprises later on because the research was not done thoroughly enough.

We communicate our costs very openly. In the past, the complete trademark application process, including search, usually cost us €500-1,800 net (plus trademark office fees).

However, there are also very extensive trademark applications for which the application fees for the trademark offices alone reach five-digit euro amounts. So it depends very much on your concrete, personal intention. We will be happy to advise you on this.

Our experience in trademark law

Here are some examples of brands we have dealt with in the past:

Our tip: serious research

Don’t be fooled by cheap offers like “trademark application from € 199” or similar. A serious trademark collision search is often very time-consuming, legally complicated and complex.

This requires in-depth expertise, which cannot be had for the “very small euro”. A trademark application without an extensive similarity or identity search is frivolous.

You should keep your hands off this, otherwise you could get serious problems with your trademark in the future – up to the cancellation of your trademark at the trademark office.
