Efendi Law & IP Consultancy is a full service IP law practice which can help in filing trademark applications, trademark renewal, assignment trademarks in Georgia as well as providing all required IP services related to filing appeal and oppositions, appearing at the local Courts, advising on anti-counterfeiting strategy for your brand in Georgia.

We also provided assistance with regard to many cases related to overcoming provisional refusals in Georgia against international applications filed through the WIPO’s Madrid System as well as successfully represented our clients on cancellation procedures in Georgia.

We have extensive experience in entering trademarks into the Georgian Customs Register. Owners are entitled to enter their trademarks into the Customs Register. This helps prevent counterfeits entering the country, as well as “parallel imports”. Thus, recording trademarks with the Georgian Customs Register is a highly recommended step which ensures better protection of trademark owners’ rights.

We provide services to conduct regular monitoring of trademarks in Georgia in order to discover attempts of registration of trademarks or designations similar to them by other persons. The regular monitoring includes on-line monitoring, sending cease and desist letters, out-of-court negotiations in Georgia.

Trademarks fulfil their function not only when they are actually used on or for goods or services, but also when they are used in advertising. The use of trademarks in advertising in Georgia requires an understanding of trademark law and the nuances involved. Their misuse in advertising can lead to legal complications. We partner with our clients to ensure compliance with local laws and, when necessary, provide assistance to defend our clients’ rights.

We help our clients to conduct IP due diligence and audits in Georgia. In particular, we can identify and assess existing or potential issues relating to the intellectual property which clients find to be extremely useful in accurately valuing the deal.
