Intellectual property (IP) refers to ideas & creations of one’s imagination that give birth to inventions, art, literature, designs, images, symbols & names. Intellectual property is what helps make a company or brand unique, stand out & be distinguishable from another.
The main types are trademarks, copyrights, patents & trade secrets. Each relates to a unique area of IP that is protectable in different ways. Trademarks, copyrights & patents may be registered to record ownership. The process to record rights to include what, when & how it may be registered, varies by jurisdiction.
Examples are many of the iconic names, symbols & phrases that you associate with your favorite product or brand, whether Nike’s swoosh & “Just Do It” or McDonald’s Golden Arches. More unusual examples of intellectual property include colors like Tiffany Blue, sounds like the one between scenes on Law & Order, or scent like the smell of Play-Doh.
IP investigations are cases related to potential intellectual property, like trademarks, trade dress, copyrights, or design & utility patents.
IP investigators are private investigators who specialize in intellectual property cases. From their relevant knowledge & experience, they will have a comprehensive understanding of the evidence that often makes or breaks these types of cases – & are likely to offer more value to positively impact the outcome. In any field, there are intrinsic benefits of collaborating with subject matter experts.
Vaudra helps companies & brands protect their IP by compiling evidence to defend a trademark owner’s intellectual property rights. You don’t know what you don’t know. As investigators, we aim to bridge that gap, uncovering the facts impacting your intellectual property so that you make informed decisions on potential next steps.
In a world where the unscrupulous are eager to profit from your ideas, you need help to retain & protect the value of those assets. Whether involving attorneys, law enforcement, other service providers or (ideally) a combination, investigators are an invaluable resource to incorporate.
One will flounder without the other. Brand protection is a comprehensive term for the process & actions rights owners take to protect their intellectual property (IP). Registering intellectual property is critical to make brand protection possible.
