US Trademark Lawyer in Israel
In the Israeli market of today, a progressive, forward-thinking businessperson of a legitimate company has a trademark.

The registered mark is the property of the individuals or company and will, until future notice, be the identifying symbol with which consumers will come to know and trust in products manufactured by the mark owners. It is, in every possible way, the sole intellectual property of the individuals or company. The business owner or owners in Israel will absolutely need a US trademark lawyer in Israel.

Trademarks are Ancient
Trademarks predate religions, and originally looked very different from today’s marks. Unlike in ancient times where they were engraved in pottery or clay made within a monarch’s domain, trademarks today have modern graphic designs, some in black and white and some in color.
What’s Color Got to Do with It?
In filing trademarks, those that have colors other than black and white will cost more, as those colors, too, are part of the marks. To wit, most Oreo cookie lovers will flock to the familiar packaging, that includes identifying colors and graphic design, from lettering to the Nabisco logo in the corner. All those details are part of the mark and so registering the colors will cost more. Your US trademark lawyer in Israel is indispensable for protecting your interests all around.
