In today’s business environment, intellectual property can be an important part of an organisation’s value.
A company’s name, logo, brand identity, inventions, designs and other creative assets can distinguish it from competitors and contribute significantly to its commercial success.
Wilson & Morgan Law provides intellectual property services, including assistance with trademarks, patents and designs. The firm’s profile also identifies trademark registrations, renewals, assignments, availability searches and representation in contentious intellectual property matters.
Trademarks
A trademark can help distinguish the goods or services of one business from those of another.
Businesses may need assistance with registering trademarks, renewing registrations, assigning trademark rights and preparing trademark-related agreements.
Patents and Designs
Innovations and designs may also require legal protection.
Understanding what protection is available and how to obtain it can be important before commercially exploiting an innovation or design.
Searching Before Registering
Before applying for registration, businesses may benefit from conducting availability searches.
This can help identify existing registrations or potential conflicts that may affect the proposed application.
Dealing With Opposition
Intellectual property disputes can arise when another party challenges or opposes a registration.
Wilson & Morgan Law’s profile specifically identifies representation in contentious matters before the Registrar of Trademarks, the Patents Tribunal and the High Court of Malawi.
Protect What You Have Built
Businesses invest significant time and resources into developing their brands and innovations.
Protecting those assets should therefore be considered part of a broader business strategy rather than an afterthought.
