BrandToBe® is a comprehensive trademark availability search and registration package. We conduct all possible searches to assess the brand freedom of exploitation.
Objections are part of the examination process. Whether it is simple amendments to a products and services classification or more substantive objections such as descriptiveness refusal, MAS LEGAL can prepare your defense.
To keep your brand in force, it must be renewed during the year of the 10th anniversary of the filing date and every 10 years thereafter. There is no limit to how many times your trademark can be renewed. You can choose not to renew it or voluntarily cancel it at any time.
Marklocator® brand protection tools locate your brand name on the Internet including domain names, ebay, rumours, videos, blogs, communities, etc. Marklocator can help you reach several objectives:
take proactive measures against piracy, illicit copying, and counterfeiting;

We provide expert advice in the field of trademarks. We advise our clients on trademark freedom of exploitation in the world.
If a difficulty arises which impairs the chances of a successful trademark registration, we can give advice on strategic solutions.
When a client hesitates between several new brand names, BrandToBe multisearch and our associated legal services provide an ideal solution: we assess the liberty of exploitation of all your ideas, and offer expert advice as to whether one name is preferable over another.
A third party who is using your trademark without your consent may be infringing your intellectual property rights. When you sell your products or services over the Internet, you are trading in a global marketplace. Registration of a national trademark does not protect you overseas. In addition, if you offer goods or services on the Internet, you could be sued for infringement in a country where someone owns a trademark similar to yours.
Brand owners contemplating trading online should seek legal advice on how to apply for international trademarks, and assess the freedom of exploitation of their existing brands in new markets.
