TESTAROSSA®️? EVEN FERRARI HAS TO BE CAREFUL!

Awesome case study on the importance of CONTINUOUSLY using your trademark. JUST REGISTERING IS VERY IMPORTANT, BUT REGISTERING ALONE IS NEVER ENOUGH!

Obviously, this example is from Europe, but even in the U.S., trademark rights are acquired through use. EVERY trademark owner needs to remember to CONTINUOUSLY use their mark throughout the mark's lifespan as ANY disruption in use can potentially jeopardize ownership rights and expose a mark to possible abandonment. A licensed Intellectual Property Attorney can help you avoid such problems.

If you have any questions about protecting your Trademark, please call Woodard International Law at 523-252-7422.
