While there are EU directives aiming for harmony, copyright laws can still vary by member country. We provide strategic advice to ensure your creative works are protected across key European markets.

For broad coverage, we typically guide clients through the European Patent Office (EPO). An EPO grant results in a “bundle” of national patents that you can validate in individual member countries. We help you navigate this complex process.

The most efficient way is through the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), which grants a single trademark registration valid in all EU member states. We are experts in filing and managing EU trademarks (EUTMs).

Generally, copyright lasts for the life of the author, plus 70 years after their death.

Yes, Canada has a similar system. We can file a Canadian patent application to secure a filing date and give you a year to file in other countries under international treaties.

Copyright protects original creative works like books, music, software, and art.

Trademark protects brand identifiers like your business name, logo, and slogan.

At Delvei, we provide a free initial assessment to help you determine the right type of protection for your unique assets.

At Delvei, we believe your ideas are the foundation of your success. Intellectual Property (IP) refers to creations of the mind—everything from inventions and brand identities to artistic works and trade secrets. These intangible assets are protected by law, enabling you to own, control, and profit from your innovation and creativity.

Just like physical property, IP can be bought, sold, licensed, and protected against unauthorized use. In today’s knowledge-driven economy, safeguarding your IP isn’t optional—it’s essential to maintaining your competitive edge and securing your legacy.

While some rights (like copyright) are automatic, formal registration is what gives you the legal teeth to enforce them. Registration creates a public record of your ownership, is often required to file a lawsuit, and can significantly increase the damages you can recover in an infringement case. We handle the entire registration process to ensure it’s done correctly.

You can register your trademark federally with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO). We manage the entire process, including conducting a comprehensive search and navigating the unique Canadian system.

No, protection is automatic. However, you must register your copyright before you can sue for infringement in the US, and registration makes you eligible to recover statutory damages and attorney’s fees.

A Provisional Patent Application (PPA) establishes an early filing date and gives you 12 months to further develop your invention and file a non-provisional application while using the “Patent Pending” status. We can advise if a PPA is the right strategic move for your invention.

A US trademark registration can last indefinitely, as long as you continue to use the mark in commerce and file the required maintenance documents between the 5th and 6th year, and every 10 years after registration.

Yes. We offer enforcement and dispute resolution services, starting with cease-and-desist letters and negotiation, and can escalate to litigation if necessary to protect your rights.
