The Prawo.pl portal’s “5 minutes about IP” featured an article by attorney Ewelina Bosek titled: Using a trademark – to mark a business, or only goods and services? “When expanding our business and deciding to protect a mark, we usually apply for it out of caution for a wider range of goods and services. This has both advantages and disadvantages. There is then a greater risk that the mark will be challenged in oppositions or cancellation applications, but at the same time we benefit – at least for a while – from broader protection.” Issues addressed: Consequences of a broad list of goods and services; Distribution of third-party brand goods vs. trademark; Practice of authorities and courts; Practical conclusions – a broader perspective.
