The trademark practice in the United States differs on many different levels from the European/Swedish practice. Companies who already have or are aiming to start a branch or getting their business onto the American Market should be aware of the challenges and differences in both obtaining and enforcing trademark rights in the United States.
Taking the registration process or the importance of having registered rights for granted, or as an example not having the chain of title of the company’s trademarks in order may cause the company to be completely blocked from using their original brand. Alternative ways of enforcing a trademark right in the United States is also useful knowledge.
Trademark experts from the New York based IP law firm, Cowan, Liebowitz & Latman, P.C. will be visiting from New York for this seminar. Be inspired, see new opportunities and learn which requirements and challenges your company is likely to meet in the United States in the field of trademarks and other intellectual property rights.
