It’s no longer enough to have a simple logo and brand name to differentiate yourself in the consumer products and services space. Businesses now must find new ways to distinguish their goods from global competitors.
Many companies are recognising the need for consumer goods to be wrapped in a customer experience that is harder to recreate than the product itself.
It also demands a creative approach to protecting this, which is often possible through IP.
