Trademark

Creating a trademark (verbal sign, figurative sign, sound sign, position sign, multimedia sign…) is a mean to create a link with customers.
Protecting a trademark is a powerful mean to enhance the value of your company.

A trademark allows you to identify your company’s products and/or services from to those of your competitors. This identification function is increased with the development of digital technologies.
