IS A TRADEMARK SEARCH NECESSARY BEFORE FILING?

Before filing your application it is strongly suggested to conduct a search of the Italian Patent And Trademark Office (UIBM) to determine if there is a registered or pending mark that is identical and/or similar to yours. Remember that not only the Italian trademarks are in force in Italy, also the Community trademarks and the International trademarks designating Italy are valid in Italy.

You can search for free Italian registered trademarks.

Otherwise you can ask our attorney to do so for you. When you request our trademark availability opinion  our attorneys do a trademark search and carefully analyze search results in order to crucially limit the risk for your application to receive objections and oppositions.
