Intellectual Property

IP Advisory in Surat

Intellectual Property is not only about filing a trademark or copyright application. For a growing business, IP can include: Brand Name | Logo | Software | Content | Designs | Trade Secrets | Business Know-How | Licensing Rights | Digital Assets. The real question is not: 'Which application should we file?' The real question is: 'What IP does your business own, what needs protection, and how can it create business value?' At The Corporate Hub, we help startups, founders and businesses understand, organise, protect and commercially structure their intellectual-property assets. Identify → Protect → Structure → Commercialise → Grow.

IP Advisory is a strategic service that helps a business identify its intellectual-property assets and decide how they should be: Owned | Protected | Registered | Used | Licensed | Assigned | Commercialised. The advisory covers: Trademark Strategy | Copyright Strategy | Brand Ownership | Software & Digital IP | IP Licensing | IP Assignment | Founder-to-Company IP Transfer | Franchise IP Structure | E-Commerce Brand Protection | IP Due Diligence. The objective is to build an IP structure that matches the current business and future growth plan.
