IP Searches

The process of creating and developing a trademark or other business identifiers for use in the marketplace requires research and investigation on potential conflicting earlier rights as well as an experienced opinion regarding the availability for the use and registration of the proposed mark.

We conduct searches and produce search reports with full comments and opinions for names, logos or other figurative elements for a range of Portuguese language jurisdictions, including Portugal and the European Union, Macao, Angola, Mozambique, S. Tomé e Príncipe and Cape Verde. We also provide watch services by monitoring publications of new trademarks valid for those jurisdictions for opposition purposes or by reviewing and reporting competitor and sector IP activities.
