Optimal consultation due to years of experience and competency
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
we are happy to be able to welcome you on our internet pages today.
We are delighted to introduce our company to you and briefly explain our services in the area of commercial trademark rights..
U.W.I. Unternehmensberatungs- und Wirtschaftsinformations GmbH has been helping trademark specialists of prestigious law firms and well-known corporations for over 30 years with trademark use research, research on company information, domain inquiries, market studies and anonymized purchases of trademarks, domains or company names upon the introduction and protection of commercial trademark rights.
We inquire about the current use status of trademarks and company names, provide our customers with information about domains, domain owners and companies in general. Together with our customers we develop strategies, plan projects, accompany these with advice and if necessary purchase already existing trademarks, as well as company and domain names as part of this. Competent answers to all your questions from the developers of use research.
Aside from access to special databases, an extensive archive of old telephone books and business directories, convention catalogs, trademark reference books and commercial registers that round out our decade long know-how in handling this delicate material, is available to us for solving these tasks.
Please talk to us and let us know what we can do for you.
We are looking forward to personally speaking with you
Dr. Rüdiger Fett and Frank A. Westermann
In-use Researches
In-use Researches
In order to permanently secure a trademark registration, it can be necessary to check the use status of a trademark for actual or potential conflicts. This can be the case for defending against objections against the new registration, avoiding collisions or for determining the expiration date of a potentially competing trademark. The trademark use research to be performed includes an intensive examination of the trademark owner, a search of the databases and files about the trademark owner and the trademark, even into the past, a survey of the respective field and superordinated organizations as well as, if possible, direct contact with the trademark owner. The results are presented in a report with attachments. In this report the use or non-use of the examined trademark in the respective classes, time periods or countries is documented.
Methods of Operation:
For each of your inquiries we create an individual report that sheds light on the backgrounds of the trademark owner / the examined company and discusses your special questions. Research results from online databases, reference works and the internet are documented by us and a final clarification of the use status/your questions is set into motion via plausible personal contact with the trademark owner or the company to be examined. Hereby we reduce the information and added attachments in the report to the extent relevant for you and do not deliver database excerpts that are not relevant to the explanation of your question.
Prices:
Aside from this individual method of operation we also distinguish ourselves from our competitors by our transparent and mostly more favorable pricing. While you have to look for the prices for the countries relevant to you in long lists at other providers, it is very easy with us.

You will receive a graphic evaluation with product illustrations and dating in the form of a detailed and clear report.

Company Research
Company Research
Company Name Use Research
Company name use research is mainly necessary when founding a new company to prevent any possible later objections by competitors at an advanced stage with the corresponding costs. This research occurs in many cases simultaneously with corresponding trademark use research as part of a corporate identity. Files of the most varied types are checked for the current status, in particular, however, earlier sources for the prior time periods in question to determine the time sequence of identical or mistakable company names.
Company Information Research
Company information research delivers relevant data on company background such as the year of founding, corporate structure, investment shares, balances or rebranding. For example, as part of the research, we can determine whether the company is actually still active in the marketplace and which products/services are being offered. In addition, in many cases we can obtain image brochures or catalogs from the researched company, conduct on site visits of the company headquarters as well as perform test purchases.
Method of Operation:
For each of your inquiries we create an individual report that sheds light on the backgrounds of the examined company and discuss your special questions. Research results from online databases, reference works and the internet are documented by us and a final clarification of the company status/your questions is set into motion via plausible personal contact with the company to be examined. Hereby we reduce the information and added attachments in the report to the extent relevant for you and do not deliver database excerpts that are not relevant to the explanation of your question.
We do not offer this work at fixed prices since the research effort varies greatly. We will be happy to provide you with a custom offer.
For work such as test purchases of product samples, on site inspections, photo documentation or preparatory and accompanying activities for trademark, domain or company name purchases we charge an hourly rate of € 200.--.
Domain Inquiries
Domain Inquiries
A domain inquiry provides relevant data regarding corporate law/financial backgrounds of the domain owner. Among others the first time a domain received content, whether and when there was a change in ownership, what type of content the domain displayed at a prior point in time and whether the domain owner has any additional internet addresses registered in his name.
Method of Operation:
For each of your inquiries we create an individual report that sheds light on the backgrounds of the domain and discuss your special questions. Research results from online databases are documented by us and a final clarification of your questions is set into motion via plausible personal contact with the owner of the domain to be examined. Hereby we reduce the information and added attachments in the report to the extent relevant for you and do not deliver database excerpts that are not relevant to the explanation of your question.
