Frequently asked questions
When should we register a trademark?
As early as possible, ideally before you launch a product, open new sales channels or invest heavily in marketing. Searching and filing early reduces the risk that someone else registers the mark first and gives you more control over your business plans.
In how many countries can a trademark be registered?
A trademark can be registered in many countries, depending on the markets where you do or will do business. FC Legal advises on which markets to choose and the right filing route for your expansion plans.
How long does patent registration take?
It depends on the type of application, the technical field and the examination process of the competent authority. When we take on your case, FC Legal explains the main stages and the expected time for each one.
How much does IP registration cost?
Costs include official fees and charges plus our service fee. They depend on the type of asset, the number of classes or subjects and the countries of registration. Indicative service fees are shown in the table above. We send a formal quote after reviewing your specific needs.
Does FC Legal help deal with infringements?
Yes. FC Legal monitors for infringements, sends warning letters, works with e-commerce platforms to remove infringing listings and advises on the right course of action for each case.
