Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to protecting your intellectual property.
Knowledge of your rights coupled with the registrations to prove you own your intellectual creations transforms your business into an impenetrable fortress. Freely sharing knowledge about how to protect trademarks is one of our foundational values, and 2021 was a year where we can proudly say we reached a record number of business owners and brand managers with our message of how important and easy it is to protect your brand. We had a lot of fun spreading this message!
