Trademarks & Brand Protection

At EKO-TECH we build trust through quality—and we defend that trust by protecting our trademarks and taking firm action against misuse and counterfeit goods. We also act as an authorized, licensed partner in the European Union for selected YAESU brands, helping to prevent unlawful use and misleading look-alikes that can harm customers and the market.

Why trademarks matter

  • Customer safety & performance: Counterfeits can fail in critical applications.

  • Clear origin: Trademarks identify who stands behind the product and support.

  • Fair competition: Proper use prevents confusion and protects honest players.

  • Investment protection: Brands reflect R&D, certifications, and quality systems.

  • Enforceable rights: Registered marks enable action against misuse across channels.
