IP.JAESCHKE_™INVENTION – Give your future a name.
Trademarks are in nowadays economic life of crucial importance. It’s o.k. if a trademark sounds good. However this suffices rarely to be successful in a competitive market. A brand is a companies first advertising vehicle and has similar to a claim to be understood rightly. With our tailored service IP.JAESCHKE_™INVENTION we would be pleased to assist you together with marketing experts already during the invention of your brand. The goal must be to recapitulate your brand promise in your trademark. It is not very helpful, if potential customers in non-english speaking countries understand the claim “ come in and find out” as „ step in and find your way out".
Trademark searches
Trademark disputes are due to regularly high values of such claims expensive. Prior to a trademark registration trademark searches are therefore a reasonable tool to prevent infringements of third parties trademark rights. Depending on where and how you would like to use your trademark, we configure together with you the scope of such searches and carry them out either by ourselves (for instance for national German trademarks and CTM or IR trademarks) or assign a trademark search service provider for that.

IP.JAESCHKE_™CHECK – Searches
Apart from trademark register searches a company name search or an “in use”-search of trading names could be useful. When such searches are reasonable we check existing company names on identity or phonetic identity to your trademark or company name or we investigate whether an existing trading name is still in use in a certain market. Non use of a trading name might be a reason for having it deleted from the registers. An in use search is particularly useful if you want to register an existing mark or trading name.
Trademark application
We protect your company-, service- and product trademarks through registration of national German, Community (CTM) and/or international (IR) trademarks. If necessary we conduct proceedings before the trademark offices or the courts to enforce your trademark protection.
