French Utility model

Utility models are a rapid way to provide additional protection to products. France and a number of European countries offer this type of protection. Registering for a utility model is time saving as it does not require a substantive examination, as a patent does. However the period of protection is not as long as that of a patent.

Obtaining a Trademark

A trademark is an Industrial Property title that grants you an exploitation monopole for 10 years indefinitely renewable.  A trademark allows the protection of a sign used in commerce and that distinguishes the products or services of a business from the others.

The trademark is protected only on the territory of the State for which it has been filed and registered. The trademark only protects the products and/or services worded at the filing and similar services and/or products.
