Counsel for an Austrian producer of glass headquartered in Wattens, Austria
“Thank you very much for your assistance in our Clearance Project and your advice on the availability and registrability of our brands. The client was very happy with the overall results and the advice they received. The team in particular stressed that they liked the pragmatic, business-minded observations and recommendations in the country reports, including in particular information on the trademark’s owners business and standing in your jurisdiction, a potential “court record/history” and how aggressively (or not) they are enforcing earlier rights, your comments on a coexistence of similar marks on the market, and so on. This is what the client considers to be “added value”, and it proved very helpful for the client’s internal risk assessment and the recommendation the IP team eventually gave to the business. So thanks a lot for your assistance!”
