Frequently Asked Questions

While trademarks offer significant protection, there are several limitations to be aware of.

The protection is geographically limited to the country of registration, and international protection requires registration in each respective country.

It's also restricted to the specific classes of goods or services listed in the registration and does not cover unrelated categories.

Trademarks cannot protect purely descriptive or generic terms, and continued protection requires active use in commerce, with the risk of cancellation if the trademark is not used.

Additionally, enforcing trademark rights against infringers can be costly and time-consuming, requiring legal action.

Overall, trademarks provide robust protection, but they’re not absolute and require ongoing attention to maintain their benefits.
