FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhy should cross-border sellers register a trademark first?▼

Brand Registry on Amazon, TEMU and similar platforms requires a registered mark. Registration is also the legal basis for complaints, anti-counterfeit action and offline channel access.

QWhy does a US trademark require proof of use?▼

The US follows first-to-use. Applications based on actual use need sales evidence bearing the mark; intent-to-use applications may file a statement of use after allowance. Our consultants guide the evidence and timing.

QInvention, utility model or design - what is the difference?▼

Invention protects technical solutions (1-3 years, substantive examination); utility model protects shape or structure (6-12 months, formality examination only); design protects appearance (3-8 months). Cross-border products usually prioritise designs plus target-country design patents.

QEU trademark or Germany trademark?▼

An EU trademark takes effect in all 27 member states, suited to a Europe-wide strategy. A German trademark covers Germany only but costs less and examines faster. Many sellers combine both, based on product line and budget.

QWhat if we receive an infringement complaint?▼

Secure evidence, assess the counterparty's rights (invalidation where useful), then choose platform channels or litigation. We handle complaints, appeals, cease-and-desist letters and TRO settlement.

QHow long does trademark registration take?▼

In smooth cases the EU and UK run about 4-6 months and the US about 8-10 months, with Japan and Korea at 6-12 months. You get the filing receipt on the day of submission; actual timing depends on each office, and your consultant gives you a country-by-country schedule.

QWhat documents do I need to register a trademark?▼

A company provides its business licence, an individual provides an ID or passport. Add the logo file, the classes and the goods or services list and we are ready to file. Powers of attorney and other forms come from us as templates and we complete them with you, so everything is prepared in one pass.

QDoes a trademark registered in one country protect other markets?▼

Trademark rights are territorial - you are protected where you have registered. You can file market by market, or use the Madrid System to designate several countries from one filing. We map the coverage to the platforms and countries you actually sell in.

QWhat is a TRO, and what if my funds are frozen?▼

A TRO is a temporary restraining order issued by a US court, usually alongside an infringement lawsuit; it freezes listings and funds. Act quickly: secure the evidence, test how stable the plaintiff rights are, then choose between defending, settling or exiting the category. The earlier we step in, the lower the cost.

QMy trademark was refused - is that the end of it?▼

No. Once we analyse the grounds we can file a refusal appeal, and many objections are overcome by amending the goods list or by argument. Our approach is to run the clearance search before filing so refusals are rarer, and when one does happen the appeal plan comes with it.
