First questions

What we will ask first

  1. 01Where is the brand registered, and where is it used?
  2. 02Who is copying it, and where?
  3. 03What evidence of sales or confusion exists?
  4. 04Which markets matter most?

The approach

How WONE Global usually approaches it

  1. Step 1Check rights in each market.
  2. Step 2File, oppose or cancel registrations.
  3. Step 3Act with customs, online marketplaces and courts.
  4. Step 4Close gaps so it does not recur.

What is needed varies by country and by matter. Your WONE Global professional confirms the work, timing and fees before anything starts.

Across borders

Complications to check

Issues to assess when more than one country is involved. They are prompts, not conclusions about any country's law.

  • IP territory & exhaustionProtected rights and permitted resale differ by market and product
  • Court vs arbitration forumAgreement uses arbitration while assets and key witnesses are in different countries
  • Recognition of judgmentsA party wins abroad but needs lawful local recognition and enforcement
