Trademarks, Domains and Copyrights
Trademarks distinguish godos and, services. They essentially link the market offering to the consumer. At Jarry IP, we recognize trademark registration goes beyond an administrative formality – it protects the effort, creativity, and business interests of entrepreneurs and companies.
Registered trademark and domain name owners risk third parties obtaining confusingly similar or identical marks/names among the numerous registrations granted. Jarry IP offers high-quality monitoring of trademarks and domain names to alert clients whenever a new filing conflicts with their interests. We provide relevant details to pursue appropriate legal actions. Our monitoring spans the full trademark term (10 years) and total domain registration period.
Trademarks, domains, and copyrights are transferable assets that can be sold, assigned, or transferred, even after the owner passes. For registered trademarks, ownership transfers and name changes must be recorded on the registration. Owners are responsible for keeping records current. At Jarry IP, we handle all such proceedings with highest standards: from negotiating purchases/sales of marks, domains, or copyrights; preparing assignment documents; recording with INAPI and other institutions.
A trademark or copyright owner may authorize third-party use through licensing. Licenses can be free, paid, exclusive, non-exclusive, time-limited, etc. Jarry IP specializes in licensing agreements and determining optimal terms tailored to each client’s needs for commercial success.
Copyright protects intellectual works and their authors upon creation (e.g. books, films, software). It also covers related rights of performers, producers etc. involved besides the author. Among other rights, copyright includes reproduction, distribution, publication, translation, adaptation of the work. At Jarry IP, we develop strategies promoting and protecting clients’ works, including registrability analysis, prosecution, and negotiating/executing licensing or royalty agreements.
A key feature of trademarks and domains is renewable rights. Registered marks have a 10-year term renewable for successive periods. Domain durations vary (1-10 years) but are renewable. At Jarry IP, recognizing continuous brand/website use is vital for business continuity, we provide comprehensive renewal counseling and handling complexities.
A domain name is an easy-to-remember address associated with a unique Internet IP address, seen after “@” in emails and “www” in web URLs. Domain registration and protection is crucial in the Internet age. Jarry IP has extensive experience registering domains parallel to trademark applications to extend client brands online. We are also adept at domain dispute litigation, enforcing client registrations or revoking conflicting third-party registrations.
