What is a brand?
A trademark is a sign registered (reserved) in the trademark register by a holder for the goods and services he designates, in a given territory, valid for 10 years and renewable.
It makes it possible to capitalize on a reputation: if the product or service is good, the buyer will be favorably disposed towards the brand under which the product is sold. Renewable indefinitely, the brand combines prestige and revenue sustainability.
It makes it possible to identify know-how and quality, for example through labeling processes, in addition to the application of designations of origin and geographical indications.
It is transferable or licensable, in particular within the framework of franchise or distribution agreements.
Difficulties in trademark law may arise from conflicts between trademarks, or with domain names or other signs, such as name, trade name, corporate names, designations and signs, a Community trademark, a foreign.
