The issue

A mark used at home is not automatically protected everywhere. Trade marks, designs, patents and confidential information need different checks and protection.

What to prepare

Before exhibitions or agreements, check signs and relevant territories. Regulate brand use, licensing and document access; disclose only what is necessary. A confidentiality agreement cannot replace all other safeguards.

Official and primary sources

General information, not advice on an individual case. Sources consulted on 22 October 2026: check updates before acting. The overall portal review is ongoing. This note does not certify a complete check of every page.
