Su viaje de marca registrada

In Switzerland, a trademark is a legally recognized sign, symbol, word, or combination that distinguishes a company's goods or services from others.

Governed by the Trade Marks Act 1995, a registered trademark grants you exclusive rights to prevent others from using similar identifiers that may cause consumer confusion.

With Brealant by Your Side

Trademark registration in Switzerland provides significant advantages for your business in securing your brand identity.

Once registered, you, as the trademark owner, have exclusive rights concerning specific goods or services across the country.

This legal protection prevents competitors from using or imitating the trademark, helping build consumer trust and recognition.

Que marca registrada Protege

A registered trademark in Switzerland protects various elements that identify and differentiate a brand.

The protection extends to:

Palabras

Unique brand names, slogans, and taglines.

Logotipos

Distinctive graphical elements representing the brand.

Bandera

Unique color combinations closely associated with the brand.

Sonidos y olores

Distinct sounds (like jingles) and scents uniquely related to the brand.

By partnering with IP experts in Switzerland, you can ensure your brand is safeguarded from infringement, maintain its integrity, and prevent customer confusion or loss of trust due to imitation.

Limitaciones

Lo que no se puede registrar como marca

Brazil

Certain elements cannot be trademarked under Switzerland law, including:

Términos genéricos

Common words or phrases that describe the product (e.g., "bread" for a bakery).

Palabras descriptivas

Words that simply describe characteristics, quality, or location of goods (e.g., "fresh" or "Switzerland").

Material ofensivo o escandaloso

Marks that contain offensive language or imagery.

Términos engañosos

Words that could mislead consumers about the nature or quality of the goods or services.

Apellidos comunes

A surname in common use unless proven to have become distinctly associated with a specific brand.

The Trade Marks Office evaluates applications to ensure that these non-registrable elements are not part of the proposed trademark.
