Chiever protects brands

Big enough to cope, small enough to care

Chiever provides advice on the international protection of trademarks, copyright and design. We take care of trademark registrations, defend your interests in trademark conflicts, and advise on legal risks for brand introductions. We do this in the Netherlands but also internationally. In March 2021, Chiever won the Trademark Firm of the Year award for the third time in a row.

A trademark is not protected until it is registered. Chiever can advise you of the best way to protect your brand and take care of the registration in the Benelux and internationally.

Box full not so full

It’s been a while, but that doesn’t make this case any less interesting. The Appeals Board of the Stichting Reclame Code (SRC) – the self-regulatory organisation of advertising in the Netherlands – was consulted on the matter of whether supermarket Albert Heijn was misleading consumers with the packaging ‘Doosjevol’ (a box full).
