And we could continue for a long time with the list of trademarks which, due to their name or their image, refer to the world of the animals.
What rules should we follow to create a trademark in honour of our friends, the animals?
The same of always, that is, first of all, creating a trademark with distinctive character in relation to the products and/or services to be claimed; to carry out a trademark search in order to verify the risks related to the presence of any identical or similar trademarks, which could create obstacles to the use and registration of your trademark; to have good taste and, as a result, to create a trademark not contrary to the law, public order and morality; do not use misleading signs.
