Webinar: Protecting your brand during a pandemic

The effects of Covid-19 have been widespread, and the advertising industry has been particularly impacted. But how does a brand make sure its rights are protected/enforced when its use is limited by constrained licensing opportunities and courts/IP offices are closed? These are the topics we will cover in this 45-minute webinar.

  • How to ensure you don’t miss trade mark deadlines in the major markets (UK, EU, US, China) 
  • What action to take when your contract is frustrated
  • How to make sure your brand is protected on marketplaces such as Amazon during the rise in online shopping 
  • Using lockdown to address gaps in my brand protection and strengthen my rights 
  • Do I still need to be thinking about Brexit and the effect on my brand? 
  • How to enforce your rights through the courts during lockdown
