Original caption
If you have a business idea, or you’re in the launch phase of your business, you can file an intent-to-use application to hold the name and use of your trademark. There are three common levels of IP protection: 1. Patents (For Inventions and technical solutions) 2. Trademarks (For brand identity, names, logos, phrases) 3. Copyrights (For Creative and original works) If you’re serious about your business, I’d definitely advise. #trademarks #ipprotection #startups #patents #business
