OB Trademarks
Intellectual Property Attorneys
OB Trademarks helps businesses and inventors register, defend and manage trademarks and utility models in Romania and abroad — with clear advice and transparent fees.
What We Do
From first search to long-term portfolio management, we handle every stage of protecting your intellectual property.
Availability searches, filing and prosecution of trademarks before OSIM (Romania), EUIPO (European Union) and WIPO (Madrid System), covering word marks, logos and combined marks.
Fast-track protection for technical inventions through the utility model procedure — a cost-effective alternative to a full patent, ideal for incremental innovations.
Ongoing monitoring for conflicting applications, oppositions, cancellations and infringement actions, so your rights stay protected after registration.
Centralized tracking of deadlines, renewals and annuities for your trademarks and utility models, in Romania and across multiple jurisdictions.
Coordinated protection strategies abroad through the Madrid System, EUIPO and direct national filings, adapted to your expansion markets.
Strategic advice on brand and innovation protection, licensing, assignment agreements and dispute resolution tailored to your business.
How It Works
We discuss your brand or invention and define the right protection strategy for your goals and budget.
We check availability and identify potential conflicts before you invest in filing.
We prepare and submit the application, responding to any office actions on your behalf.
Once registered, we track renewal deadlines and monitor for conflicting new applications.
