Trademarks Our trademark practice encompasses a wide variety of different types of cases: all the way from groundbreaking high-end litigation before the European Court of Justice through to large-scale anti-piracy enforcement campaigns.
The Benelux has traditionally been a jurisdiction that plays a major role on the forefront of developments in trademark law. Many of our clients turned to us, not only for enforcement action in the Netherlands, but also for strategic and practical advise regarding the enforcement of their trademark rights throughout Europe. Trying test cases in the Benelux prior to exporting the judgment to other European jurisdictions has in the past proven to be a successful strategy for many companies. The attorneys at Klos Morel Vos & Schaap are pioneers of European cross border litigation in trademark cases.

With the coming of age and rise in importance of the CTM system, our clients increasingly call upon our knowledge of European trade mark law and litigation experience to assist them in proceedings before the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM). From our office at the seat of OHIM in Alicante, Spain, we represent our clients in all the different types of proceedings befor the OHIM such as refusals, oppositions and cancellations.
