Coexistence Agreements: Yes Or No?

Coexistence agreements are one of the options that two owners of similar or identical trademarks have in a situation where they want to agree on how to (co-)exist together not only on the market but also in trademark registers.

Have you ever thought about registering a trademark? If so, before filing a trademark application, you probably did research whether any similar or even identical trademarks for similar or identical goods and services have already been registered. As there has been a growing trend in the number of trademarks for many years, it is becoming increasingly difficult to choose a trademark that is unique to such an extent that it does not cause conflict with the owners of other already registered trademarks.
