Protecting and defending a trademark

By registering, you ensure your exclusive rights to the trademark

With the help of Berggren's experts, you can protect your trademark cost-effectively, obtaining the best possible protection in Finland, EU-wide, or internationally. Without proper protection, your brand is vulnerable to copying, and defending it can be both difficult and expensive. Without protection, the value of your brand diminishes.

The value of a trademark grows with its use

Did you know that if a mark is not used for a certain period, such as five years, it can be revoked? Berggren's brand protection experts advise you on the proper use of your mark, which strengthens its value rather than diluting it. To maintain your registration, we will help you with the collection of evidence of use.

Defend your trademark

If your trademark is infringed, Berggren's experienced EU trademark agents and lawyers will handle infringement assessments and defend your trademark in Finland and internationally, based on years of experience. The foundation of effective defense is a strong trademark registration, its proper use, and consistent collection of evidence of use.
