The simple key should be “IP strategy”. If a strategic decision has been taken to go and expand the business and open new locations, one of the first things that should be done is to protect your brand. It has happened in the past that brand owners, went overseas, spent money on finding a local distributor, in opening new businesses and then discovered that their mark cannot be protected or has limited protection, when for example someone else has filed for a trademark first, and gained enough goodwill to bar their current application. Therefore, the importance of registering a trademark while planning ahead cannot be over rated.

When filing for a trademark in Israel, one should be aware that Israeli Law currently operates differently than the US trademark Law, whereas in Israel operates on a Mono-Class system , as opposed to the Multi-Class system that operates under US trademark Law.

A mono-class system means that when filing for one trademark in several classes, applicant will have to file several applications for the same trademark. On the financial aspect, this usually will mean that a bigger budget will be needed as each class is considered as one new application, and on the procedural aspect, each application will be allocated a different serial number, sometimes a different filing date and many times be examined separately.

Although one cannot generalize on all legal practitioners, some, do offer a reduced fee when filing for one trademark in different classes.

One more fact, applicant should be aware of, is that Israel is a member of the Paris Convention, by which any applicant who filed an application on an another member state, may file for the same application in Israel provided that the filed application be on the same class number, the same list of goods and/or services, for the same mark and that the Israeli application was filed within 6 months from the earlier priority date. This will allow the applicant to file the trademark in Israel claiming priority on the previously filed application date.

More factors need to be considered when filing for a trademark in Israel and it will be further detailed on the following article, published on this subject.

Although the data provided on this article should be error free and accurate, it can under no circumstances be considered as a legal advice and one should contact a lawyer on a case-by case advice.

When you’re considering applying to law school, the first thing you should ask yourself is if you really, truly want to be a lawyer. There used to be a time when law school was a great default option for people who weren’t sure about what they wanted to do, but knew they wanted financial security. Maybe it’s because this idea has gained so much currency, but the truth is that now a law degree does not automatically equal a high-paying job right out of school. Of course, if you are able to get into one of the top law schools, there will always be a job waiting for you. For those who are not as lucky, however, a fearless look at why you’re considering applying to law school is your best course of action. If you truly love the law, by all means, go ahead and apply, but know that the job market for new lawyers is tougher than ever before.

Consideration #2: What Type Of Law Do I Want To Practice?

So, you’ve determined that you’re not just applying because you can’t think of something else to do. Then you might already know the answer to the question of what type of law you would like to go into one day. If you don’t know, before you apply is the time to start mulling it over. Environmental law or corporate contracts? Real estate or intellectual property? There are many specializations for you to pursue, and some schools are more focused on your area of choice than others are.

Consideration #3: Who’s On The Faculty?

Check out the faculty of the schools you’re considering. This consideration goes hand in hand with consideration #2. If you are a true lover of the law, then you probably have a wish list of legal rock stars you’d love to learn from. Look into the biographies of the various professors of schools you’re considering and make sure you’ll be able to take classes with the ones you find fascinating.

Consideration #4: Where Do I Want To Live When I Am Practicing Law?

You might not know where you want to live once you get out of law school. This is also worth some thought for a couple of reasons. First, if you study in the state you’d eventually like to practice in, you’ll have an easier time passing the bar. Secondly, think about the job market. If you go to a school that’s well-known in a certain area, you’ll be a more attractive job candidate than if you take that degree on the road and have to explain its merits to people in a faraway city who are less familiar with the strengths of your law school.
