Trademarks

A trademark is a powerful symbol for your customers. A dynamic brand management strategy relies on an all-encompassing approach.

Designs

A design relates to an appearance of a product – shapes, contours, decorative and ornamental patterns, icons, and graphic interfaces.

Originally a technical consideration, a domain name is now the digital counterpart of your brand, which allows the public to identify and authenticate you on the Internet.
