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 properly selected, registered and protected trademark can be of great utility to a growing company that is fighting to establish, maintain and expand its market share. There is perhaps no better way to maintain a strong position in the marketplace than to build goodwill and consumer recognition in the identity selected for products and services that can be protected under trademark law.
PATENT
Patent protection can minimize competition and act as a defensive mechanism against infringement claims from others.
The first step in determining whether to protect a new invention –i.e. product or process- with a patent is to understand the chance of patentability over the prior art together with the costs and benefits of patent protection. The patent application and prosecution process may lasts three to four years and involve a costly legal and consulting fees. Therefore, it is important to foresee, before you file, whether the benefits of being able to exclude others from manufacturing, distributing or exploiting the subject matter compensates the costs of prosecuting and protecting the patent.
DESIGN
The outward appearance of a product that results from its lines, contours, shape, texture, materials, ornamentation, can be subject of copyright and design rights, and even trademark rights.
Having the design protection helps you to stop people stealing or copying design or look of your products and therefore they should also be considered as part of a well-rounded intellectual property strategy. Just bear in mind that, with a design registration, you protect your product's appearance, but not its function.
COPYRIGHT
We consult how to protect your copyrights namely personal intellectual creations like music, arts, literature which do not have to be registered and take effect at the time of creation.
