Solicitor for Intellectual Property Law in Valletta

I’ve discovered a business in Malta actively using a trademark almost identical to mine, and the ongoing damage to my brand and customer confusion is happening right now while I consider my legal options. I’m worried that waiting for a full court case to conclude will cause serious harm in the meantime. Is there a way to get them to stop urgently while the underlying dispute is resolved?

I filed a trademark application in Malta and I’ve just been notified that another company has formally opposed my registration, claiming it conflicts with their own existing trademark. I want to understand what this opposition process actually involves and what my options are for responding.

I’m in the process of preparing a trademark application in Malta, but I’m now concerned that a different, unrelated business might file a very similar application around the same time. I want to understand how this kind of overlapping claim would actually be resolved under Maltese trademark law.

I run a small creative business in Malta and I produce a lot of original content, photos, written material, and designs, myself. I want to understand whether I automatically own the copyright to everything I personally create, or whether I need to formally register something for this protection to actually exist.

A former employee of my company in Malta was involved in developing some proprietary processes and technical documentation as part of their role, and they’ve now left to join a direct competitor. I’m concerned they might use or share what they developed while working for me. What are my rights here?

Beyond my brand name and logo, I also use a specific catchy slogan consistently across my marketing in Malta, and I’d like to know whether a short phrase like this can actually be registered as a trademark in its own right, separate from my main brand name.

I’m setting up a new website for my business in Malta and the domain name I’d like to use is quite similar, though not identical, to an existing registered trademark belonging to a completely different, unrelated type of business in another industry. Would registering this domain name actually create any legal risk for me?

I’ve started a small business in Malta with a distinctive brand name and logo, and I want to properly protect it before a competitor potentially copies it. What’s actually involved in registering a trademark here, and roughly how long does the process take?
