IP — Frequently Asked Questions

Trademark protection is territorial. File where you use or plan to use your mark. We can coordinate multi-country filings and advise on Madrid Protocol/region-specific routes where applicable.

™ may be used to indicate you claim rights in a mark; ® is reserved for registered trademarks in jurisdictions where registration is granted.

Copyright protects the source code as a literary work. Patent protection may be available to novel, non-obvious, and industrially applicable technical solutions—subject to jurisdictional rules. We’ll evaluate the best strategy.

Trademarks can be renewed indefinitely (typically every 10 years). Patents have a limited term (often 20 years from filing), subject to maintenance fees.
