Which markets can you help us plan for?+
Our global focus covers the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, Japan, the Middle East, and Asia. Each matter is scoped around the countries, rights, and professional expertise your business needs. Select your markets in the explorer to prepare a tailored consultation brief.
Can one filing cover Europe, Asia, or the Middle East?+
Regional labels do not establish legal coverage. Start with the specific countries and rights you need, then discuss eligible national, regional, or international filing routes. EU trademark scope and European patent routes are distinct considerations. Read about international IP planning ↗
Does one registration protect me worldwide?+
No. IP rights are territorial. International systems can help coordinate applications, but protection depends on the relevant countries or regions and their requirements. Read the USPTO overview ↗
Do I need a trademark, a patent, or both?+
A trademark identifies the source of goods or services, such as a brand name or logo. A patent concerns a qualifying invention. A business may need both for different assets. Compare the types of IP ↗
What should I prepare for an initial discussion?+
Start with a high-level description of your brand or invention, target countries, business goals, and any existing application references. Use the planning tool to organize these points. Keep confidential technical details for a suitable professional engagement.
How are service fees determined?+
Professional fees depend on the work, complexity, and jurisdictions involved. Official filing fees are separate considerations. Request a written scope and fee breakdown from the professional handling your matter before proceeding.
Is Global Trademark Office a government agency?+
No. Global Trademark Office is an independent IP services platform. It is not a government agency and is not affiliated with any government IP office or WIPO. Links to official resources are provided for information.
Does the IP brief tool send an inquiry?+
No. Your answers stay in the current browser tab. You can download or copy the brief to use later. No appointment, professional engagement, or filing is created.
