The Intellectual Property Counsel is a person specialized in the field of intellectual property, who attended State Office for Inventions and Trademarks ( OSIM ) courses in the field and is part of the National Chamber of Industrial Property Advisors in Romania.
Proceedings before intellectual property authorities require increased attention and a thorough knowledge base in this area, as there is no room for error, as any error can be detrimental to the business. Thus, the role of an intellectual property counsel is a very well established one and it is mandatory to be represented by an intellectual property counsel in case you are a foreign citizen and you want to register a trademark with OSIM .
For many companies, their intellectual property is just as valuable, if not more valuable than their physical assets. For example, imagine if Versace suddenly couldn’t call itself “Versace” or put Medusa’s head on its products. The brand would face irrecoverable financial losses and would have to invest heavily to restore its notorious identity. Therefore, these elements are protected worldwide by intellectual property.
