What Are Trademarks and Trade Secrets, and Why They Matter

Trademarks safeguard the distinctiveness of your brand in the marketplace by protecting elements such as your business name, logo, slogan, and product identifiers. Formulas, procedures, customer lists, marketing approaches, and operational plans are all examples of proprietary and sensitive information that can be protected by trade secrets.

Phillip can help businesses register their trademarks, create thorough confidentiality agreements, and devise enforcement plans to prevent conflicts from compromising their precious assets.
