Trademark Registration and Protection
Trademark registration can provide important protection for a business name, product, service or brand. We assist clients with trademark searches, applications and registration procedures in North Macedonia, as well as international trademark matters.
Our lawyers also advise on potential conflicts between trademarks and assist with opposition, cancellation and other administrative proceedings. Where a trademark or other intellectual property right is being used without authorisation, we advise on appropriate enforcement measures.
Intellectual Property Licensing and Disputes
Intellectual property rights can also be commercially exploited through licensing, assignment and other contractual arrangements. We draft and review intellectual property licence and assignment agreements and assist clients with the commercial use of trademarks, copyright, technology and know-how.
Where infringement occurs, we assist with cease-and-desist letters, negotiations and enforcement proceedings. Our services also cover domain name disputes, online brand protection and representation in intellectual property litigation and other relevant proceedings.
We advise domestic and international companies, entrepreneurs, creators and individuals seeking to protect or enforce intellectual property rights in North Macedonia. Our intellectual property legal services can also support businesses operating across multiple jurisdictions.
