Did you know... The EU rules on registration of medicinal products have changed significantly. One of the most problematic amendments is the requirement to register a medicinal product using the name of a trade mark of the Marketing Authorisation Holder and not the name or a trademark of the Producer. The EU legislation on the matter should have been transposed by the 30th of October 2005 throughout the EU Member States. Lithuania already has adequate mechanisms in place.

A duly protected trademark is a key to effective marketing, a way to gain the loyalty of customers, a means to ensure business development and to receive income by franchising or licensing agreements.

Only successful registration of a trademark may ensure effective protection against unfair competition. Regija Borenius's services include preparation of documents necessary for the registration of trademarks, completion of applications and their submission to the State Patent Bureau, representation of clients before the State Patent Bureau during the process of registration. Regija Borenius can help clients register a Community trademark in the territory of the EU.
