Before filing an application or auditing an IP rights portfolio, CELPHI offers watch and search services. These services allow you to identify prior rights and to anticipate risk of conflicts.
Before filing a trademark, it is essential to ensure the sign is not already in use or registered by a third party. Our firm conducts comprehensive trademark availability searches in national and international databases (INPI, EUIPO, WIPO, etc.). We analyze potential conflicts and provide a detailed report to secure your trademark application project.
Protecting an industrial design requires ensuring its novelty and that it has not already been registered and published. Our experts perform prior industrial design searches to identify identical or similar designs, registered and published.
Unregistered or unpublished designs, or those protected solely by copyright, cannot be identified. We cover French, European, and international databases (INPI, EUIPO, WIPO, etc.), and assist you in minimizing the risks of infringement.
Once your application is filed, CELPHI offers watch services (trademark watch, competitive intelligence and domain name monitoring) in real time, allowing to anticipate risk of conflicts with your rights and to act accordingly.
Once your trademark is registered, it is crucial to actively monitor global registries to detect any filings that may infringe upon your rights. Our trademark watch service includes the regular monitoring of available trademark databases and notifying you in case of potential infringements or conflicts. We act swiftly to protect your rights (cease-and-desist letters, opposition actions, etc.).
Your domain name is a strategic asset that allows you to reach your customers and to promote and sell your products or services. It is therefore essential to ensure that this connection with your customers is protected.
Our domain name watch service allows you to monitor similar or infringing registrations, expirations, and cybersquatting. We provide real-time alerts to prevent the loss or abusive use of your online identity.
Staying informed about your competitors’ strategies is essential for anticipating risks, seizing opportunities, and securing a competitive advantage.
Our competitive intelligence service covers trademark filings, industrial designs, and legal actions taken by your competitors. We provide customized reports to help you adapt your intellectual property strategy.
To prove the genuine use of a trademark or to challenge one, a trademark use investigation is often required.
CELPHI conducts in-depth investigations (gathering evidence of use, market surveys, and testimonies) to support your rights or defend your interests in disputes. An use investigation is also useful before filing a cancellation action against a third-party trademark (non-use cancellation action) or to mitigate any risk of conflict before filing a trademark as part of an availability search.
