Define a protection strategy
UGGC Avocats works closely with its clients, both in France and abroad, to ensure the protection of their brands throughout the value chain, from the filing of trademark applications, in particular with the support of its Shanghai office, to the management of oppositions, nullity or revocation actions and the drafting of operating agreements (assignment, license, coexistence, franchise).
Dispute management
UGGC Avocats also assists its clients in conducting civil and criminal counterfeiting actions, often complex in the case of counterfeiting on the Internet and infringement of distribution networks. The firm assists major players in the fashion, watchmaking, cosmetics and food distribution sectors. We also conduct online domain name restitution proceedings for our clients (UDRP and Syreli).
The firm also handles disputes arising from contested trademark registrations before both French and European courts (EU Intellectual Property Office/ ex-OHIM and European Union General Court). We advise our clients on the implications of the EU Trademark Package (2015 update of the EU Trademark Directive and the EU Trademark Regulation).
Helping you through the process
UGGC Avocats assists its clients with the registration of their designs and the negotiation of related contracts (assignment, license, coexistence), at French, Community or international level. The protection of designs and related litigation generally provide an opportunity to examine the cumulation of protection under copyright and three-dimensional trademark law. This applies to the fashion sector, where overlapping protection is common, but also concerns industrial designs (utensils, tableware, decorative objects, spare parts and connected objects).
