TRADEMARK
Because of the global nature of business today, especially with social media and online commerce, it is important for a brand to control its mark not only domestically but also globally rather than allow somebody else to use it in another marketplace.
A well-chosen, registered, and safeguarded trademark can provide significant benefits to a developing company that strives to establish, maintain, and expand its market presence. Building a favorable reputation and establishing consumer recognition in the brand identity of products and services that can be protected under trademark law is perhaps the most effective way to maintain a strong position in the marketplace.
PATENT
Patent protection can minimize competition and serve as a defensive mechanism against infringement claims by others.
The first step in determining whether to protect a new invention, such as a product or process, with a patent is to assess the chances of patentability over existing prior art, as well as the costs and benefits of seeking patent protection. The patent application and prosecution process may last three to four years and involve costly legal and consulting fees. Therefore, it is crucial to anticipate whether the benefits of being able to prevent others from manufacturing, distributing, or exploiting the subject matter outweigh the costs of prosecuting and protecting the patent before filing.
DESIGN
The outward appearance of a product, which includes its lines, contours, shape, texture, and materials, as well as its ornamentation, may be subject to copyright and design rights, and sometimes even trademark rights.
Obtaining design protection can assist in preventing others from imitating or replicating the design or appearance of your products. Therefore, it should be regarded as a critical component of a comprehensive intellectual property strategy. However, it is important to note that a design registration only protects the appearance of your product and not its function.
COPYRIGHT
We offer consultation on how to protect your copyrights, which cover personal intellectual creations such as music, art, and literature. Copyrights do not have to be registered and take effect at the time of creation.
