The focus on trade marks used to be national. Now it has to be global. Hundreds of thousands of trade marks come on line every year and there’s a limited number of words and images to represent products. It’s a crowded space, so every business needs to protect its patch.
And so with increasing frequency, companies are looking beyond traditional brand names and logos and using novel trade marks to differentiate themselves.
At the same time, the ease with which ideas can be transported and products copied has grown. Businesses need to be equipped to establish, protect and defend their brands through trade marks.
