Why consult an intellectual property lawyer in the country concerned?
Intellectual property rights are, in principle, territorial: a trademark or a design registered in one country is not automatically protected in another. Registration procedures, the scope of protection and the remedies against infringement vary from one country to another.
A lawyer who practises in the country concerned can help you protect your rights, use them in contracts and defend them in the event of infringement. Depending on the country and the right concerned, other professionals such as patent or trademark attorneys may also be involved. Lex Globo helps you find a lawyer, in a language you understand.
Who is it for?
- Companies expanding their brand to new markets
- Creators, artists and authors
- Start-ups and innovative companies
- Rights holders facing counterfeiting or copying abroad
