La Gro Trademark and Design Office

La Gro has its own trademark and design office that works closely with the Intellectual Property & Technology (IP&T) team. This enables us to offer a fully integrated approach to our clients, not only by registering trademarks and designs but also by providing strategic litigation advice when enforcement is required in the Netherlands and abroad. We can also represent clients in European oppositions and validity proceedings. 

Our team has extensive experience in advising on and registering, managing and monitoring trademarks and designs. We work for companies in a wide range of sectors. Based on a personal approach, we build long-term client relationships focusing on practical and strategic solutions.  

The La Gro Trademark and Design Office advises on, inter alia: 

  • International and national trademark registrations;
  • Design registrations in the EU and beyond; 
  • Renewals, divisionals and transfers;
  • Strategic brand advice on positioning and portfolio building. 

The La Gro Trademark and Design Office is also available for: 

  • Opposition, cancellation and nullity proceedings at the BOIP and EUIPO;
