Consumer goods

Free consultation
Why is Intellectual Property important for the FMCG industry?
Overview
Consumer goods cover everything from household essentials to personal care and lifestyle products. Because these products compete on shelves, in ads and on marketplaces, brands must stand out visually and be legally protected across all EU countries at once.
Why brand protection matters
Most consumer goods categories are crowded, and similarities happen unintentionally – similar naming ideas, similar packaging concepts, similar colour combinations. Without registered rights, companies often have no effective tools to stop imitators or defend their position when expanding to new countries within the EU.
Typical risks
• Conflict with existing EU trademarks due to similar wording or structure.

• Packaging designs being imitated by smaller competitors.

• EUIPO objections for descriptive or weak names.

• Difficulties securing long-term contracts with distributors because the brand is not legally protected.
How we help
We file EU trademarks and EU designs for packaging, labels, and product appearance. We prepare responses to provisional refusals, manage oppositions, and support clients with portfolio planning when expanding into new markets. For brands entering retail chains, we also help align IP strategy with licensing and distribution requirements.
A secure trademark and design foundation supports stable growth and reduces the risks typical for highly competitive consumer markets.

    Marketing

    These elements are used to show you advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests. They can also be used to limit the number of ad views and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Advertising networks usually place them with the permission of the site operator.
