IP regulation

In this short piece we’ll be focusing on the main aspects of IP leadership, including problems with protecting IP rights in South East Asia & Latin America & trends observed in IP leadership at the moment.

IP Leadership

The general recommendation for IP leaders would be to establish & develop lasting relationships with young professionals & IP leaders that have already secured a strong  position in the market. Experts also recommend that IP leaders carefully study IP regulation in the EU, US & other countries in order to identify new & effective approaches to resolving IP disputes in Europe & America.

It should be borne in mind that IP is part of another extremely valuable asset, and more specifically, TM. That is precisely why business owners should pay special attention to the registration of TMs in the EU & other jurisdictions where their companies will be operating. This makes it possible for them to apply to court for TM protection in the EU or US in case of violation of their TM rights or resort to TM litigation in Asia or Latin America.

Problems Faced by TM Owners

With e-commerce growing at an unprecedented rate, it is becoming increasingly difficult for companies to protect brands in Asia, Africa or Latin America. This is due to the fact that TM owners are experiencing difficulties with tracking all cases of infringement & misuse of their TMs.

Nowadays, effectively dealing with TM violations by 3rd parties requires companies to commit all their resources to identifying, investigating & stopping unauthorized use of TMs in Asia, Africa or Latin America.
