We assist rights holders in developing proportionate enforcement strategies against counterfeit products, unauthorised use of registered marks and designs, misleading commercial presentation and other forms of brand appropriation. The objective is to move from evidence to an enforceable position without losing sight of cost, speed and commercial impact.
Enforcement work
- Preliminary legal assessment of suspected infringement.
- Evidence preservation and organisation of publicly available proof.
- Cease-and-desist notices and formal notices to infringers or commercial partners.
- Platform, marketplace and intermediary complaints where a valid IP right supports the request.
- Coordination of Romanian trade mark and design enforcement with parallel EU rights.
- Support for negotiated undertakings, withdrawal of infringing material and settlement.
Registered-right strategy
- Enforcement is stronger when the right relied upon is correctly registered for the relevant goods or services. Before action, we review the registration, proprietor, territory, classes, renewal status and, where relevant, vulnerability to non-use attacks.
Counterfeit programmes
- For businesses facing repeated infringement, we can structure a repeatable enforcement workflow: monitoring, evidence capture, escalation thresholds, standard notice templates, decision criteria and reporting.
OSIM / EUIPO relevance
- An enforcement strategy may require parallel administrative work, including oppositions against copycat applications, cancellation actions, renewals, ownership corrections or new filings designed to close gaps identified during enforcement.

Discuss the scope before filing or taking action
