Our Managing Director, Sarah Poole, is beyond excited to join the FICPI Fédération Internationale des Conseils en Propriété Intellectuell at end of this month in Madrid. With this in mind, we thought we would do some Googling on innovation and intellectual property that has originated out of Spain over the years.

It goes without say, that Architecture and overall design is a common and highly successful theme. The Spanish are well regarded for their incredible architectural feats across Madrid and Barcelona dating back centuries, as well as the ongoing design work that continues to follow. There is no surprises there! Yet, apparently, the Spanish can also be credited for coining the vast majority of international rules of Chess. Strategic players!

Spanish scientists and inventors have also been leaders in the fielder of research and development in terms of ophthalmology and the leaders in ground breaking cataract surgery, biochemistry and molecular genetics resulting in the ability to read and understand DNA, as well as pioneers in understanding how differing forms of alcohol may be utilised to treat disease during times of great global struggle and significant and wide spread disease of the early centuries.

Sarah looks forward to joining both Spanish colleagues and colleagues from around the world in the upcoming FICPI conference in Madrid. No doubt it will be an absolutely delightful time in a beautiful and welcoming country!

Behind every door (or window) another opportunity awaits. Be bold. Go forth.

Every business is a concept by design. A vision embodied and brought to lift by the entrepreneurs that surround and support it.

How IP supports each and every business can be vastly different, yet it is remain at all times a consistent element to the success in business.

What an IP Strategy needs to embody to support a business depends on its commercial offering, methods of putting same to market and means of accessing the marketplace, commercial marketplaces and general contributions to ensuring all comes to life. There is no one size fits all approach.

That’s why sometimes an IP Audit or IP Strategy needs due consideration to ensure its fit for purpose. Because no one business is the same and each has its own distinctions and differing push points.

Stay True to your vision and identity.

The most successful brands in the world have strong brand philosophies. When a brand’s philosophy comes out clearly in its visual identity, it’s a unique representation of what that brand stands for.
Be different. Stay true. And own what you’ve created!

How can IP support this? By locking down what you’re about and what’s distinctively you. Trade marking is all about securiting brand identity, business identity and recognition.

Intellectual Property is the property of the mind. It is a professional field defined by intellectual thought.

Consider this: the brain named itself, by human intellectual thought and science. Then consider all the intellectual property created by those beautiful brains that create this world, and all that leveraging of human intellect!! It is creativity, entrepreneurship science and art combined.

How exciting it is to be a part of a profession that not only encourages and facilitates unique, creative and artistic thought, but embraces and leverages it.

All those minds floating around globally, thinking and creating on a daily basis. What a wonderful and exciting profession to be apart of, solidifying such intellectual intelligence.

Where do You See Yourself 10 years’ from now?

What is IP Strategy? Now and into the future? IP rights are intended to secure and protect your ability to business in your intended fashion, both now and into the future. That’s why at we always guide clients on thinking not just about the here and now, but about future ambitions and scalability intentions - ignoring options when implementing IP Strategy.

To adequately define and implement an IP Strategy that supports a client and business, we need to understand more than just what your immediate commercial intentions are - also what are your intentions into the future? Do you have product expansion ambitions? Do you have ambitions to expand globally into multiple markets?

Securing trade mark protection is about defining and locking down exclusive rights. To achieve this, and achieve this well, it should at all times be completed commercially in accordance with a business plan and understanding of commercial objectives. Essentially, your vision as a business. So that we can support it.

In approaching investment in IP Strategy, it shouldn’t just be the case of the ‘here and now’. IP is designed to secure your ability to grow and scale in accordance with your business plan and our services should support and foster that growth. That’s why we should always be looking to the future and considering all growth and expansion plans from the outset in ensuring that your IP acts as a safeguard to take you and your business where you want to go.

Brand Vision v Trade Mark

What is Brand Vision? The question begs and it can mean differing things to differing sectors. Traditionally speaking, Brand Vision could be defined as a directive intended to give a business a sense of directive of brand purpose, in order to distinguish itself from its competitors. Also, to underpin the values of a business and company.

Vision Statements have often been pushed at companies to assist them define themselves, resonate and distinguish themselves as a business and brand and distinguish themselves from competitors. Moreover, to define and implement a roadmap for the future success of a business or company.

So to what extent does this overlap with the role of a trade mark and general IP Strategy? A trade mark is largely legally defined as a ‘badge of origin’ or trade signifier, intended to distinguish one business and its commercial offering from those of others within the marketplace. I.e. in order to sets oneself apart. Ultimately, trade marks are intended to protect the identity that defines a business and position a business to commercially leverage that point of distinction. Can it therefore be said that trade marks are defined to embody, secure and showcase brand vision?

We at IP are intending to challenge this philosophy further in 2024, but introducing guided brand naming where we JV with branding agencies to ensure positive outcomes on both brand visioning and ensuring that businesses are investing in a legal protectable brand name.
