You have developed a brand, logo or design and want to protect or commercialize it. Whether you have created a unique brand for your company, come up with an innovative design or positioned your logo as a recognizable symbol, protecting your intellectual property is essential. You may discover that someone else is using your brand or design without permission, or you may be confronted with an alleged infringement of someone else's brand. Or perhaps you want to exploit your brand, design or logo by licensing or selling it to partners or companies, and you are not sure how to legally arrange this.
