Benefits of creating industrial property assets

Many business owners don’t worry about registering trademarks or filing patent applications for inventions or utility models or about protecting the know-how or the trade secrets of their companies, because they ignore or underestimate the importance that needs to be given to industrial property or intangible assets, which very often are of the highest value for the company.

The Telchini-Mayr-D'Abbiero Law Firm assists companies and private individuals in protecting intellectual and industrial property. It promotes the creation, protection and leveraging of intangible assets, proposing a global strategy to protect industrial and intellectual property rights on a national, European and international level with the collaboration of qualified professionals in various countries.

The firm contributes to the development and leveraging of industrial property rights, assisting clients in the management of business relationships and the economic assessment of intangible assets, using the most appropriate legal instruments for the case.

In this area, the professionals offer their experience in international contracts, with particular reference to exclusive licensing contracts for industrial property rights, product supply and distribution, franchising, and agency.

How to shape an innovative project

Every innovative project must consider the protection of industrial property rights as the cornerstone of its activities. A trademark or a patent, for instance, if adequately protected, can sometimes be sold to third parties for a very high price or licensed, hence maintaining its ownership and receiving an annual consideration in the form of a royalty.

Our firm offers its experience and specialised consulting, analysing for each case the intellectual property rights that best meet the client’s growth objectives and takes care of the necessary activities for industrial ownership rights, including:


  • Procedures for the registration and protection of trademarks (word, symbol, phrase, logo, combination) in Italy (UIBM) and abroad, in the European Union (EUIPO) and internationally (WIPO);
  • patents for inventions and new plant varieties at European (EPO) and international (PCT) level;
  • utility model patents nationally and in countries that recognise these types of industrial property;
  • designs and models, nationally and in the European Union;
  • copyright protection on literary, cinematographic, artistic and photographic works, as well as rights connected to economic exploitation;
  • protection of so-called unregistered intellectual property rights, such as distinguishing marks and designations of origin (DOC, DOP, DOCG);
  • protection of know-how and trade secrets, protected by the provisions of Directive 2016/943 of the European Parliament and the Council dated 8 June 2016.

Would you like to effectively protect your company’s trademarks, designs, know-how and inventions?

The industrial property rights of every successful company must be created and firmly defended, with skill and tenacity. The professionals in our law firm offer assistance in all procedures at Italian and European Union Intellectual Property Offices:


  • during the initial administrative phase through the preparation of defence papers in response to findings, refusals to perform acts of office, and motions to oppose the registration of the title, as well as the presentation of motions to oppose the registration of titles of third parties counterfeiting the client’s prior ownership rights;
  • during any subsequent appeal before the Appeals Commission of the Italian Patent and Trademark Office (for Italian trademarks) and the Appeals Commission of the European Union Office for Intellectual Property (for EU trademarks);
  • during the judicial phase of appeal against the decisions of the Boards of Appeal relating to EU trademarks before the Court and the European Court of Justice.

 

The leveraging of the intangible assets portfolio is closely connected to its defence, also in court.

The strategy for protecting industrial property in the phase following the granting of the title, in fact, allows the prevention or stemming of counterfeiting and unfair competition.

Management of the dispute is ensured by the firm’s professionals through the meticulous defence of intellectual property rights in all relevant administrative, civil, and criminal offices.

Judicial activity favours the establishment of rapid and targeted actions by the relevant sections specialising in corporate issues, aimed at obtaining protective measures of seizure and injunctions against third-party counterfeiters, while compensation for damages, commensurate with the material injury suffered, will be requested in the subsequent proceedings.
