Intellectual property protection solution
A key element in the visual identity of a brand or company, the logo is part of the company’s intangible assets. That’s why it’s essential for the creator to protect his logo legally, to avoid competitors appropriating his creation. We advise you to register your logo online.
A logo is a distinctive sign made up of a set of graphic elements, which enables any user to identify a product, a service or a brand.
Under copyright law, works of design, graphics and typography are considered works of the mind. However, to be protected by copyright, the logo must be original.
When a logo is original, it is protected from the moment of its creation by copyright, which gives the creator a monopoly on the use of his work. However, this protection is not always sufficient

Copyright protection does not allow you to prove your rights in the event of a dispute. That’s why it’s wise to anticipate any litigation by registering your logo.
There are several possibilities:
Nevertheless, before registering a trademark, it’s a good idea to protect your logo with a Copyright registration. Copyright has two advantages: it can prevent conflicts by letting your competitors know that your logo is protected by the © sign. In the event of a dispute, your rights are registered and the authorship of your work is publicly established. This makes it easier for you to defend yourself.

The logo is your brand’s visual identity. And sometimes it’s your whole brand. And it’s essential to protect your logo. Registering a logo gives you exclusive rights to use it, and protects you from unauthorized exploitation by third parties. This strengthens your overall approach to protecting and defending your intellectual property rights, and avoids the risk of counterfeiting. Registering a logo as a trademark is public, so it can be consulted and simply enforced.
A logo can be registered with INPI (Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle) in France or via a specialized platform. This registration confers legal protection for 10 years, renewable indefinitely. This is an important step in obtaining an industrial property title that will guarantee the protection of your intellectual property for your logo.
The only two ways to register your logo are as a figurative trademark (100% design) or as a semi-figurative trademark (the name and design can be read together).
Copyright registration protects the logo as an original work of the mind. This procedure attests to the logo’s authorship and secures its use, particularly in the event of litigation. Copyright registration precedes and complements trademark registration for enhanced protection.
Yes. Trademarks are protected in 3 main areas:
National, European, international. And there are other territory targets, for example, start with a national filing, and if it’s important to you, take steps to extend protection to the USA. Thanks to international agreements such as the Madrid System, you can extend the protection of your logo to several countries by filing an international trademark application. The services of a specialized lawyer are essential. FIDEALIS offers a network of Industrial Property attorneys for logo trademark registration. It is also advisable to use time-stamped online registration services to strengthen your evidence.
Without protection, your logo can be used or copied by other companies, which can damage your brand image and lead to financial losses. Without registration, it’s difficult to enforce your rights in the event of counterfeiting. You could even be forced, for example, to redesign your store front, the visual identity of your website, or relabel your stock products.
